Located on a quiet and desirable street in North Brookline, this exceptional Arts and Crafts home, designed in 1920 by esteemed architect Charles Donagh Maginnis as his own residence, ranks among the finest of its kind in the United States. Carefully restored, modernized, and meticulously maintained, the house displays outstanding craftsmanship from its era and is featured in several books on architectural history. The well-thought-out floor plan includes elegant living and dining rooms, a large kitchen with an adjoining breakfast area, and a warm family room ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The upper levels feature multiple bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a home office, as well as versatile third-floor space perfect for guests or recreation. A sheltered, professionally designed backyard features a level lawn and expansive bluestone spaces, bordered by a low-maintenance native garden. A recently built two-car garage completes this extraordinary property.
