    What's special

    Nestled on the slope of Fisher Hill, this extraordinary property offers views of Brookline Reservoir. Originally the Boylston Family home, the grandparents of president John Adams, the house features period details from Massachusetts' first centuries: the beamed family room in the rear ell dating to 1680, the Colonial front rooms added on in the 1730's and a major renovation/expansion by noted architect, John Hubbard Sturgis in1850. Grounds are a mix of sweeping lawn, perennial gardens and rare specimen trees. An adjoining green corridor of fields and woodlands are preserved in perpetuity by a conservation restriction on the two acres fronting Boylston Street. This is a unique opportunity for a buyer with vision to renovate/preserve a very special home on a very special site surrounded by protected land. Listed facts and figures are based on renovation to be completed in 2022. Areas are estimates.
