BROOKLINE BEAUTY This is the story of one man’s obsession to build the best, most tricked-out home he possibly could, in Brookline, his favorite Boston suburb. This extraordinary property is the brainchild of Chris Wilmott, a builder, developer, former Wall Street bond trader, and perfectionist. His years-long project started when he chose a pie-slice of a corner lot in 2017, gutted its original home, added 3,000 square feet of new construction, and appointed the interiors for the ultimate in comfort, sophistication, and decidedly good looks. A few fun facts: there are radiant floors throughout and a heated cobblestone driveway; three washers and dryers, four Sub-Zero fridges, two Miele dishwashers, four Wolf ovens, fourteen cameras, and thirty-two speakers. It’s being sold fully furnished, with $100,000 in “play money,” says Wilmott, “because people are bound to want to make changes.” Because there was no expense spared in landscaping
the lot for privacy, it feels distinctive, detached from the goings-on around it. And yet it’s just 1.9 miles to the Prudential Center and Copley Place. CONTACT: Chris Wilmott, Lisandra Wilmott
