Listing broker remarks

55 Leicester presents a RARE offering in one of Brookline’s premier, private locations, now offered at a price point rarely matched for a home of this caliber. Behind its grand facade, this extraordinary estate awaits its next chapter. Repositioned BELOW SIX MILLION — a significant adjustment representing compelling value for the size and location — it stands among the most attractive listings currently available in Brookline. The home showcases soaring ceilings, walls of windows overlooking landscaped grounds, and an open, light-filled floor plan. The scale and layout exists for a visionary buyer to reimagine and restore its full potential. Signature luxurious features such as the heated driveway, limestone floors, an elevator to all levels, 5-car garage, in-ground pool, roof deck, and wine cellar further elevate the appeal. For developers, investors, or end-users, 55 Leicester is an unmatched canvas to create a world-class residence in an A+ Brookline location.— Douglas Elliman Real Estate - The Sarkis Team
