Property Highlights + Features

Built in 1929, a pinnacle year for exquisitely detailed architecture, 333 Lee Street is a sprawling marvel that has had only three owners.
This unique property stands out, with a rich history and impeccable design.
Designed by William Truman Aldrich who was a master of his craft who honed his skills at MIT and the famed École Des Beaux Arts in Paris.
William Aldrich, a luminary in the world of architecture, left an indelible mark on the landscape of his time, designing a multitude of public and private residential buildings. His most renowned projects include The Brittany Memorial Chapel in Normandy, France; The School of Theology at Boston University; and The Eliza G. Radeke Building at the Rhode School of Design Museum.
Aldrich's architectural style, a masterful revival of 17th-century detail in carved stone and overhangs at gable ends, is beautifully showcased in this Brookline home. Its elegant, segmental arches, crowning French doors, steep roofline, slate roof, and tall chimneys all serve to underscore the home's substantial yet refined nature.
