This exceptional Brookline residence built in 2012 brings together sophisticated modern design with cutting-edge green architecture. The property was crafted with special attention to green performance and efficiency and stands out with its thoughtful use of space, striking modern form, and host of sustainable features. This ground up constructed residence allows for a super-insulated airtight enclosure and triple pane windows providing superior thermal comfort with low energy use.
Architecturally unique, the home's façade is a striking composition of materials all unified by a refined, asymmetrical silhouette. Corner-wrapping window systems usher light into every dimension of the home creating a warm and bright feeling throughout. The entrance is thoughtfully sheltered by an acrylic overhang, leading into a sleek foyer that offers a direct sightline to the meticulously landscaped backyard. Inside, the showstopping open stair with acrylic treads and glass railings creates a sculptural centerpiece, channeling natural light through all levels—from the basement to the third floor.
The first floor features a beautifully appointed kitchen with floating base cabinets, premium appliances, and thoughtful storage. The kitchen opens to a spacious open-concept living and dining area, anchored by walls of south-facing glass that floods the home with natural light. The first-floor primary suite is a serene retreat, with a sun-drenched bedroom and spa-like bath that overlooks the landscaped grounds. The adjacent office provides a quiet space for work or study. Upstairs, the flexible floor plan continues with a spacious, window-lined family room that overlooks the green roof. This space can be enclosed to create a fourth bedroom if desired. In addition, there is a window-lined den, a bedroom, and a full bath. The third floor features a third bedroom, bathroom, dressing room with bespoke cabinetry, and access to a private rooftop deck and additional green roof space. The lower level offers additional flexible space, including a full bathroom, rec room, and storage.
Built to the highest standards of sustainability, the home features airtight, super-insulated construction, continuous exterior insulation, and triple-glazed windows. A rooftop solar electric system offsets energy usage, while integrated cisterns collect nearly all site and roof runoff for water-efficient landscape irrigation. A permeable driveway with an electric vehicle charging station enhances the home's eco-conscious design. Truly one-of-a-kind, this home is a modern masterpiece designed for refined living and forward-thinking sustainability.
