Fernwood Estate

This grand estate is sited on 4.28± acres in the heart of The Country Club neighborhood of Chestnut Hill, Brookline’s most idyllic setting. Very few parcels of this size remain, and this sought-after-end of the-road location affords a level of privacy rarely found this close to the city. The property was purchased privately in 2002, and the house was renovated under the direction of Dell Mitchell Architects and custom built by the Ralph S. Osmond Company. Designed thoughtfully and built with the finest materials, the style is timeless. Embracing the beauty of the site, the house is centered on a gracious entry and large living room opening to elevated views of the grounds. The layout was created with hosting extended family in mind; four of the five bedrooms are configured as suites. The amenities are remarkable: a stunning indoor pool pavilion, a meditation room with Japanese garden, home office, exercise room and salon, as well as a one-bedroom apartment. The house feels spacious, yet intimate. The grounds are exceptional with a gated entry, graceful approach, park-like setting of sweeping lawns, specimen trees and flowering gardens. The property also offers a stylish 3-bedroom guest house.
