In late 2007 Steinmetz Real Estate Professionals listed a custom colonial/contemporary home at 820 Newton Street in Brookline’s estate area for $1 ,650 ,000. Tucked at the end of a long driveway amid mature trees, the 4 ,576‑square‑foot residence offered clean lines, open spaces and luxurious amenities. After 68 days on the market the property closed in March 2008 for $1 ,530 ,000, highlighting the lasting appeal of Brookline’s premier neighborhoods.

Built in the mid‑ 1980s, the six‑bedroom home provides generous gathering spaces. The chef’s kitchen opens into an expansive family room for effortless entertaining and everyday living. Bedrooms on the second level all have en‑suite baths, and a convenient laundry room is located on that same floor. Flexible multi‑purpose rooms allow space for a home office, gym or guest quarters, while a super‑sized garage accommodates multiple vehicles and provides abundant storage.

Highlights include two fireplaces, central air conditioning, natural‑gas heat and a sunny deck overlooking the 15 ,245‑square‑foot lot. Mature landscaping and a quiet setting offer a sense of privacy yet the home remains close to Brookline’s shops, restaurants and schools. With its versatile floor plan, abundant space and coveted location, 820 Newton Street represented a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a stately home with contemporary flair.
