About This Home
98 Carlton Street is an extraordinary 1935 English Revival residence in Brookline’s coveted Cottage Farm Historic District, blending architectural pedigree with an exceptional standard of restoration. Prominently sited on a corner lot in one of the single-family neighborhoods closest to Back Bay, the home offers rare convenience with a setting defined by history, scale, and character. A comprehensive 2022–2025 capital improvement program thoughtfully addressed major structural, exterior, and mechanical systems, including slate roof repairs, full chimney reconstruction, masonry and stone restoration, wooden gutter replacement, boiler and HVAC upgrades, irrigation improvements, and enhanced electrical and security systems. Inside, richly detailed entertaining spaces are complemented by a refined Waterworks bath, bespoke De Gournay dining room installation, restored stained glass, curated designer lighting, and premium Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances.
