Set on over 1.2 acres with a 1.62-acre experience via a neighboring easement, this exceptional Chestnut Hill estate offers a tranquil oasis on one of the area’s most coveted and secluded streets. Originally built in 1900 and thoughtfully renovated over time, the residence spans more than 9,300 square feet with six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and three half bathrooms. Its richly detailed living spaces were designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort. Gracious formal rooms, soaring ceilings, and exquisite millwork overlook beautifully landscaped grounds featuring a heated, in-ground pool, a basketball court, and ample parking. Once home to Alvan T. Fuller, the 50th Governor of Massachusetts, the property carries remarkable historic provenance. The grounds were originally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, further contributing to the property’s timeless character. This is a rare opportunity to own a historic estate of this scale in an unbeatable location.
ADU Potential

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
