As spring approaches, imagine seeing it bloom from your private sanctuary set on 4.5 acres in the heart of Brookline’s coveted estate neighborhood.

The remarkable residence at 63 Goddard Avenue has been completely reimagined with a gut renovation, offering a rare combination of Old World sophistication and contemporary comfort.

Designed by Ronald Bradshaw, the interior is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, featuring exquisite woodwork, eye-catching hardwood floors in the foyer, expansive windows, and an effortless flow between grand living spaces. If you’re the type to throw a Gilded Age party or two, this is for you.

A double living room captures leafy views of the manicured grounds, while six beautifully appointed bedrooms provide exceptional privacy and luxury, including a lavish primary suite.

The outdoor spaces rival those of a five-star resort. A sprawling stone terrace stretches along the home’s length, leading to a 40-foot-by-20-foot, resort-style swimming pool seamlessly built into a natural rock formation, complete with a cascading fountain and whirlpool. Beyond, you’ll find a private tennis court, putting green, and koi pond, offering endless opportunities for recreation and relaxation. A fully equipped cabana, a three-bedroom cottage, and an additional two-bedroom suite above a detached garage further enhance the compound’s exclusivity.

From the grounds, you have easy access to the shops and cafés of Coolidge Corner, the boutiques of Chestnut Hill, and the walking trails of Larz Anderson Park.
