Live the Good Life in Brookline – Boston Herald

Who wouldn’t want a castle in the south of France? If you are called to Greater Boston, we have the next best thing at 120 Cabot Street in Brookline.

Located just steps from the prestigious compounds of The Country Club, the picturesque Brookline Reservoir and upscale shopping and dining, the estate offers the seclusion and luxury of a country home without giving up the pleasures of a drive into town.

Attention to detail begins with the paved driveway, large shuttered windows, slate patio, artful landscaping and an elegant heated pool. It continues inside with an architectural staircase, high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling French doors that lead you to an exterior ripped from the pages of a storybook.

Although we would have liked to spend a morning or ten in the breakfast solarium, the interior of the house is as elegant as it is warm and invites you to relax alone with a good book or an intimate conversation with friends. There’s plenty of space for hosting, and the traditional footprint allows for good flow between rooms while offering distinct areas for living and dining.

More than 8,200 square feet are at your disposal, including six bedrooms – with a primary on the first floor – as well as a home gym, media room and wine cellar

The sale of the home, which is on the market for $8,900,000, is co-listed by Deborah M. Gordon, Coldwell Banker Realty and Tracy Campion, Campion and Co.
