About This Home
As of July 2025Located in a prime Brookline neighborhood on Fisher Hill, this free-standing condominium is one of the most unique residences in the area. Currently used as a home office and guest overflow space, it is also perfectly suited as a pied-a-terre, long term guest/caregiver space, cozy first home or investment property. There is a path from the driveway with an assigned parking space to this charming cottage. Inside, find a nice-sized living room with a wood-burning fireplace. The living room opens to the kitchen, smartly designed to maximize the space. Off the kitchen is an updated full bathroom. There is a sloped ladder in the living room that provides access to the sleeping loft, which is also a great storage area. Wonderful natural light. It is a third of a mile to Brookline High School, less than half a mile to the Brookline Hills T station & Runkle Elementary, and around the corner from Brookline Reservoir. This location is an easy commute to the Longwood Area and downtown Boston.
