Price Drop: Brookline Estate Asking Price Just Went Down To $69M

After years on the market for $90 million the realtor dropped the asking price by $21 million.

BROOKLINE, MA β€”There's expensive and then there is beyond expensive. This sprawling estate on the market since 2016 was listed at $90 million until last month when it quietly went down by $21 million. To put that into a tiny bit of perspective, the median sale price in town is $1,432,500.

So, yes, it's still one of Brookline's, nay, Massachusetts' most expensive homes on the market, but you can still dream. It is a bit of a dreamy place. Reebok founder Paul Fireman is selling his very garden-like eight bedroom estate on Woodland Road. The view from the mansion? Think: 14 acres of rolling lawns, ponds, rock outcrops with pathways that meander.
