6 Beds 6 Baths 6,000 Sq.Ft.
Nestled on an enviable block in Brookline’s coveted Chestnut Hill neighborhood, 25 Aston Road marks the confluence of modern luxury, show-stopping architectural design, and effortless California cool. Brilliantly designed inside and out to embrace the landscape, this spectacular six plus bedroom, five and a half bath new (2024) renovation features soaring 9’ ceilings and exquisitely curated fixtures and finishes throughout, encompassing more than 6000 interior square feet on three exquisite levels of living space.
The main level is anchored by a sculptural floating staircase and a substantial central skylight that allows light to flow to all corners of the living space. The expansive open floor plan and generous proportions are wonderfully conducive to entertaining and family gathering on a grand scale. The magnificent modern kitchen is outfitted with a massive quartzite island, lacquer and wood cabinetry, paneled Miele appliances, and a bespoke butler’s pantry that is both beautiful and functional, with ample concealed storage on both sides. Oriented to maximize views of the verdant backyard beyond, the kitchen also opens up to an impressive 28’ wide family room distinguished by sleek gunmetal cabinetry and an exquisite marble fireplace surround. An expansive exotic wood deck off the kitchen and family room encourages a wonderful balance between indoor and outdoor living. Set on an enchanting 0.39 acre lot, the exterior entertaining space boasts a substantial green space for recreation and ample room for a buyer to add a pool.
The first floor also includes a gracious entry foyer with striking views straight back to the backyard oasis; a formal living room with a marble fireplace; and a glorious formal dining room with elegant bay windows. An impressive first-floor office makes working from home a breeze, while a wonderfully versatile main-level ensuite bedroom serves as a luxurious guest space or alternative primary suite. Rounding out the first floor is an elegant powder room, and a gorgeous walnut-paneled mudroom with smart built-in storage. The oversized two-car garage features elegant glass detailing and generous ceiling height and door clearance to accommodate larger premium vehicles than typical garages in the neighborhood. There is parking for at least two additional vehicles in the driveway.
Four gracious bedrooms, all ensuite, distinguish the second level, including a sumptuous primary suite with two enviable walk-in closets, and a palatial primary bath with a walk-in shower and a soaker tub with gorgeous garden views. There is also a laundry room on this level equipped with a full-size sink and plenty of folding space. Refined lighting, tile and sink fittings reinforce the aura of luxury and quality that characterize the property.
With 9’ ceilings, the finished lower level exceeds all expectations. Enjoy an in-house cinematic experience with the integrated home theater, or indulge in a rare Bordeaux from your own exclusive wine cellar and lounge. This space would also make an excellent auxiliary play space or bonus family room. An additional bedroom and bathroom on this level offer great versatility for a guest room, au pair suite, or play space. Sculpt your physique in the home gym area (equipment not included), then indulge in sybaritic bliss in your own personal cold plunge and sauna. Even the infrastructure exudes elegance and quality, from the hi-efficiency Bosch heating system to the graceful lines and careful craftsmanship of the Marvin windows.
Masterful landscape planning and elegant use of hi-end materials culminate in considerable curb appeal, from the sleek metal mansard roof to classic copper gutters. The property offers a degree of privacy and serenity that are hard to attain even in this relatively quiet Brookline enclave. The house is beautifully sited on the property to maximize yard space and to provide some distance from neighboring properties. Impeccable location within walking distance of premier Chestnut Hill shopping, the Green Line, the Brookline Golf Course, and excellent public and private schools.
