Located at 20 Thornton Rd in the desirable Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Massachusetts, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home spans two floors with a practical and well-organized layout. The main level houses the combined kitchen and living area, where a standout kitchen features warm honey-toned cabinetry, rich dark granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, microwave, and refrigerator, and a central island with a second sink — ideal for cooking and entertaining. The living area flows naturally from the kitchen, with hardwood flooring and recessed lighting carried throughout. Upstairs, the two bedrooms offer generous proportions, warm hardwood floors, crown molding, and natural light from sliding and standard windows. The spacious primary bedroom includes a built-in closet system with shelving and drawers for excellent storage. The two bathrooms are well-finished: one features a marble-topped vanity with warm wood cabinetry, tile floors, and a window for natural light, while the other includes classic white subway tile surrounding a soaking tub and shower combo, paired with a marble vanity. Clean white walls and crown molding throughout give the home a bright, cohesive feel.

As Boston's urban center expands outward, South Brookline remains one of the few truly green spaces in the greater Boston area. Known for rolling hills and large estates, a trip through the neighborhood reminds visitors of an earlier, more peaceful New England. This rural ambiance exists just a short drive from Boston proper, making South Brookline a popular location for family-minded professionals who commute into the city, yet still enjoy the family benefits of the top-rated Brookline school system.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
