This beautiful shingle-style Victorian home is nestled on a quaint, tree-lined street in Brookline’s historic Pill Hill neighborhood. Designed and built by the renowned architect Arthur Bowditch, this home was originally constructed in 1890 and offers distinctive architectural details, including multiple fireplaces, soaring ceilings, period moulding, original multi-paneled windows and pocket door. The architect and his wife Alice lived here from 1895 to at least 1940. 

The gracious and welcoming foyer opens to a sun-filled, oversized living room with fireplace. An elegant dining room with bay window and attached butler’s pantry leads into an eat-in kitchen with exposed brick accents. A wonderful wood-paneled family room with fireplace completes the primary living space. The second floor consists of a spacious master bedroom with en-suite bath, as well as three additional bedrooms and two full baths. The third floor provides two more bedrooms and full bath. A separate private entrance makes this space ideal for an au-pair suite.

Brookline’s picturesque Pill Hill neighborhood enjoys close proximity to Lincoln, Brookline High and other top area schools, as well as a wide variety of parks, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues. With easy access to the Brookline Village MBTA station, Longwood Medical, Back Bay and Cambridge, it is an ideal location for commuters and families.
