On the Market: Brookline Manse In Cottage Farm For $4 Million

BROOKLINE, MA — Last sold in the 1960s, this home retains some cool architectural details and an antique Cyrus Carpenter cast iron stove that go back to the early 1900s when it was built.

It's got six fireplaces, unique features in the main hallway and a pair of mirrored French doors with wavy glass pocket doors. It's also got a secret door and a smoking room.

The home was formerly owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, and most recently used as a residential program called "Life Together," which pairs emerging youth leaders in their 20's with community-based non-profits, schools and social justice movements throughout Brookline, Cambridge and Boston.

According to the realtor, a portion of the proceeds is going to the renovation of St. Mark's rectory in Dorchester and another portion of the proceeds is going to renovate St. Luke's Chapel in Roxbury.

The home was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
