1272 Beacon St

This is a low-rise, single-story building constructed in 1925 and configured as multi-unit residential housing showcasing period brickwork and classic moldings. Units are large Manhattan-style floor-through layouts, commonly arranged as four-bedroom residences with generous ceiling heights, sunrooms, original built-in cabinetry and fireplaces in select homes. Interiors often feature hardwood floors, upgraded kitchens with stone or granite counters, eat-in islands, full bathrooms and in-unit laundry; many units preserve historic details like wainscoting, decorative trim and banquet-scale dining rooms. Shared spaces include an elevator, private storage in basement, and an expansive common roof deck that provides city views and outdoor seating; some listings note roof-rights or private roof decks. Exterior amenities include street-level decks and limited on-site/deeded garage parking or rental parking options. Management is typically professional; the building’s location in Brookline’s Coolidge Corner places it steps from transit (Green Line), shops, restaurants and neighborhood services. Pet policies and specific parking arrangements vary by unit or association; the building appeals to buyers seeking large urban residences with preserved historic character and substantial common outdoor space.
