Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
HomeLinker since 2009
Make our home your home-base during your visit to Boston and be just steps away from one of America's preeminent cities. We're located in Brookline, an affluent town of 57,000, surrounded on three sides by Boston, making it a short trolley ride or walk along beautiful Beacon Street to the center of this most lovely, historic, cultural and walk-able city.
Our spacious 2,100 square-foot condo occupies the entire second floor of a three-story (circa 1917) brownstone in Brookline's most sought-after neighborhood: Coolidge Corner. With its high ceilings, two bedrooms and full baths, large kitchen, formal dining room, library, and bay windows, our apartment will be a most welcome oasis after a long day of sightseeing around Boston, the North Shore, Cape Cod, or wherever your vacation plans take you.

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Coolidge Corner is the business, social and cultural heart of Brookline. It is a 15 minute trolley ride down Beacon Street to downtown Boston.
Alton Place: A quiet street in a dynamic neighborhood.
Outside your front door are restaurants of all flavors, a beautifully restored Art Deco movie theater, a pond where you can rent a sailboat, fabulous Larz Anderson Park and its famed antique automobile museum, John F. Kennedy's birthplace, and more.
Brookline has a well-deserved reputation for great dining. You could spend your entire stay just sampling our many Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai & Jewish eateries. The lines at Rami's falafel restaurant, Kupel's bagels, Zaftig's deli and Matt Murphy's Irish Pub attest to the quality & authenticity to be found everywhere in Brookline.
You are only three blocks from the Beacon Street trolley that takes you directly to Park Street in the heart of downtown Boston a 15-minute ride!
Or, you can, as we regularly do. Walk.
