Walnut Street Modern Restoration
Location: Brookline, MA
Completed: Summer 2024
The landscape of this historic home in the heart of the Pill Hill district has been redesigned to create various garden spaces supporting the outdoor lifestyle of its owners. A small, heated, Endless Pool provides space to swim and train year-round adjacent to the restorative rock garden with new fieldstone walls, fountain and lush plantings. A four-season pergola, multi-purpose outdoor kitchen and lounge area anchor the opposite side of the property with a custom water feature and fire table. The landscape at the historic front of the house is enhanced by extending the stone walls that match the original building. The historic front stairs have been re-introduced and native plant material throughout the property brings this important parcel to a new standard of modern outdoor living within an historic context.
