Balfour Brookline – now open for Tours and Reservations

Balfour Brookline will restore an important residential use to this nearly four acre site which once housed the Mitton House (built in 1896), a mansion occupied by one of Boston’s most important merchants and is now being lovingly restored for a few fortunate residents as part of the overall Balfour senior living community now under construction. More recently the site was occupied by Cardinal Cushing College and later by Newbury College.

Balfour Brookline has been designed by the world famous architectural firm of Robert A.M. Stern (aka RAMSA), a firm that has worked on projects for Harvard University, multiple high-end Manhattan condominium projects and residential, university and office buildings through the United States, Europe, South America and Asia. The RAMSA design will respect and accommodate the rich architectural traditions found in the residences of Fisher Hill , the community’s exclusive neighborhood.

Landscape amenities include stone walls, bioswales, a contemplative garden, native plantings, and preservation of existing mature trees along the streets. Landscaping has been designed to mitigate storm water on site and reduce water usage from irrigation.
