About this home

Encompassing just under two acres of wooded, private land, 39 Cottage Street presents an exceptional setting for a custom-built estate in one of Greater Boston's most sought-after communities. Nestled among mature trees and natural landscape, the property offers remarkable privacy and a sense of seclusion while remaining just minutes from Boston and Chestnut Hill's shopping, dining, golf courses, and premier schools. With a scale seldom found in Brookline, the site provides the flexibility to create a truly bespoke residence tailored to your vision. A rare offering where privacy, location, and possibility converge. This lot can also be divided into two buildable lots.
