Coolidge Corner! Tucked on a leafy, tree-lined street that feels worlds away, yet just a couple blocks from the pulse of one of Brookline’s most dynamic commercial hubs & minutes to Boston/Cambridge—this is city living with breathing room. A handsome 3-story 1910 Colonial greets you w/ a 3 season enclosed glass front porch that spills into a gracious foyer & a statement staircase. The vibe is classic with just the right edge: a cozy den lit by striking stained glass, a formal LR that flows seamlessly into an elegant DR w/ a fireplace.The butler’s pantry adds a touch of old-school charm, while the fully equipped kitchen keeps things current, complete w/ a window framing a stunning cherry tree & backyard. Upstairs, the 2nd floor offers 3 BR's, 2 BA's, & the kind of convenience that matters—laundry right where you need it. The 3rd floor flexes with 2 more BR's, an office & a full bath. Timeless, warm and well maintained-this home doesn't just check boxes, it sets the tone.
