Minutes from Boston,

in the coveted Country Club section of Brookline, Massachusetts, a remarkable architectural gem has landed on the market with a hefty price tag.

The sprawling Grand Georgian Revival Estate

set at 333 Lee Street, priced at a whopping $28 million, is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and a historic legacy that stretches back to its designer, William Truman Aldrich.

Designed by the esteemed architect William Truman Aldrich (who was also the brother-in-law of John D. Rockefeller) the property bears the hallmark of Aldrich’s training at MIT and École Des Beaux Arts in Paris

The main residence spans a staggering 16,233 square feet across 23 rooms, featuring 10 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, 3 half bathrooms, and a total of 9 fireplaces. Here are the highlights:

As you step into the grand foyer, you’re greeted by quarter-sawn oak parquetry floors with a starburst motif.

Descend to the lower level, where a recreation room, meditation room, gym, office, wine cellar, and full bath with a sauna await.
