Brookline to reduce parking requirements for new construction
October 4, 2022
The Town Meeting approved a zoning change to allow less required off-street residential parking in the Transit Overlay Parking District.
Located in a serene part of Coolidge Corner, and just a quarter mile from Commonwealth Ave, this top-floor unit features an open layout, high ceilings, and hardwood floors throughout. The living room seamlessly transitions into a formal dining area, illuminated by natural light from south-facing windows. The well-equipped kitchen includes cherry cabinets, granite countertops, and gas cooking. Other highlights include in-unit washer and dryer, double panel windows, generous closet space, one assigned parking spot, and a sizable private storage area in the basement. Heat and Hot Water are included. Close proximity to the BU campus, nearby shops, restaurants, and all the attractions of Brookline.
