Luxury Home of the Week: $6.25 million Brookline design keeps horse stalls
This Shingle-style home once served as the barn for the historic Otis Shepard House and still has the double-door entrance that horse-drawn carriages used.
But that’s not the only historic element this home has retained. The turret with its conical roof also points to the history of the building. Inside the home, a ramp ascends from the first floor to the second (a staircase at its side). Horse stalls that are sure to start a conversation with guests can serve as storage space.
120 Rawson Road is listed for $6,250,000 by Tracy Clark of Compass. The house offers four bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath, a finished basement, and 6,313 square feet of living space. The home, built in 1889 and designed by Boston architects Hartwell and Richardson, sits on a 0.58-acre lot atop Aspinwall Hill.
The home has two kitchens, two fireplaces, and hardwood flooring, including mahogany in the study.
Modern features include five zones for heating, four for cooling, a central vacuuming system, and skylights. Two detached garages offer space for four vehicles.
