Brookline, Mass. - Auburn & Harris Courtyard

The neighborhoods surrounding Coolidge Corner are filled with beautifully designed and maintained apartment buildings, and CHR buildings are often mistaken for condominium buildings. All of our apartment buildings offer easy access to Coolidge Corner or Washington Square and are meticulously landscaped by Chestnut Hill Realty's horticulture department with a variety of vegetation, including trees, shrubs and flowers. While St. Paul Gardens is an elegant building, the older and smaller Auburn & Harris structure is even more ornate and distinctive. Built in 1939 and acquired in 1976, the 34 apartment homes have access to two beautifully manicured courtyards, stained-glass entry windows, intricate moldings and solid oak entry doors. The building sits on nearly one half acre at Auburn and Harris Sts. Some units have sunken living rooms, while all have eat-in kitchens and hardwood floors. While most are one bedroom apartments, there also are six exquisite two-bedroom apartment homes. "Auburn & Harris really is outstanding," said Tom Dooley, regional property manager. "I think that is why we have so many long term residents there."
