75 Sargent Rd

Four miles from downtown Boston, this large, graceful house was one of the original structures in Brookline's bucolic Sargent Trust. With over 6,000 square feet of living space and airy,light-filled rooms, high ceilings, and a two-story, sky-lit front hall, this elegant house has been renovated to the highest standards of comfort and convenience by the current owners. There is a library with rich wood trim, an expansive kitchen with butler's pantry and a perfectly square dining room with original built-in cabinetry. The living room is forty feet long, and opens to over an acre of spectacular grounds, planted with Professor Sargent's original specimen trees, embellished by two bluestone patios and a grand front courtyard. The park-like, level yard is enclosed by a country stone wall. The Sargent Trust is one of Brookline's most sought-after residential areas, with a private pond, conservation land and wildlife, yet in close proximity to public transportation.
