Description

Part of the opulence and elegance of Brookline's heritage, the Amos Lawrence home is just steps from the Longwood medical area. Built in 1865 and enlarged in 1902, this is a landmark residence on over 1/2 acre. Main house with 23 rooms and 7364 sf plus a separate 1448 sf 6 room carriage house (1990 renovation) and a 2-3 car garage. Replete with extraordinary woodwork and tile, architectural detail and grand entertaining spaces, this property would be nearly impossible to replicate today.Part of the opulence and elegance of Brookline's heritage, the Amos Lawrence home is just steps from the Longwood medical area.
