A lavish countryside manor, only five miles from Back Bay? It’s possible if you make 71 Sears Road in Brookline your new home address.
Ensconced on two tree-hugged acres in the exclusive estate neighborhood, the singular property strikes a picturesque pose at the end of its long driveway.
What emerges is a classic brick Colonial Revival, with shuttered, paned windows, roof twinned by chimneys, and perfect little dormers. Perennial gardens and specimen trees add to this slice of natural paradise that’s still so close to the city.
While its formal entertaining spaces are appropriately grand both in craftsmanship and garden views, the rest of the home is designed for everyday living.
You can host with the most in the banquet-sized dining room or wood-paneled library, and start your day with a coffee in the kitchen’s sunny breakfast nook.
There is no shortage of indoor space with more than 7,500 square feet, six bedrooms, and four full baths, but it’s the graceful outdoor living that puts 71 Sears over the top.
Among the gently sloping lawns, you’ll find the shade of specimen trees and considered landscaping. Hop between patios and lounge by the resort-like in-ground pool in complete privacy and with plenty of room for your (mandatory) summer parties.
On the market for $14,000,000, the sale of the property is represented by The Chamberlain Group with Coldwell Banker Realty.
