Stately brick 1930's house with 6 bedrooms and 5 baths in top Brookline area of Chestnut Hill.

From the sunlit front hall, there is a library, followed by a step-down living room on the right; the dining room, breakfast room, pantry and kitchen are to the left, including a greenhouse and potting room, laundry and utility area. The second and third floors have 6-7 bedrooms and 5 baths.
