About this home

Over the past century, The Loring-Atherton House has been owned by just two families. Now, this distinguished Cottage Farm residence presents a rare opportunity for its next owner to thoughtfully reinterpret it for a new era. Set on a prominent corner lot in the heart of Brookline’s Cottage Farm Historic District, the residence is an exceptional example of Georgian Revival architecture. Its stately brick exterior is defined by a slate roofline, dormer windows, tall chimneys and a classically detailed entrance crowned by an arched fanlight. At the rear, a broad brick terrace, graceful curved staircases and a multi-paned bay overlook the mature, tree-canopied grounds. Inside, the home reveals an extraordinary collection of architectural details. A dramatic great room features a soaring exposed timber ceiling, hand-painted decorative friezes, richly paneled walls, built-in bookcases and window seating, and a substantial marble fireplace. Elsewhere, a beautifully crafted wood staircase, patterned tile floors, ornamental ironwork, additional fireplaces and a mural-lined library speak to the artistry and character carried throughout the residence. Together, these elements provide a compelling architectural language from which something entirely personal can be created. Currently offering six bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms across approximately 8,326 square feet of finished living space, the property encompasses more than 10,000 square feet of finished and unfinished space in total. The opportunity is not simply to restore what was, but to consider how its most distinctive elements can inform what comes next, creating a home that feels relevant to the present while remaining connected to its remarkable history. Directly across from Mason Square Park and moments from the Longwood Medical Area, Fenway, Boston University, leading schools and many of the region’s finest cultural and green spaces, 180 Ivy Street offers the architectural character and greenery of Brookline while keeping Back Bay, downtown Boston, Cambridge and Harvard University all within easy reach. More than a significant address, it is an opportunity to carry forward a century-long legacy while defining its next era.
