A thoughtful balance of historic character and modern design, 50 Sumner Road is a five-bedroom, five full and one-half-bath Colonial Revival that reflects its 1891 architecture through a meticulous renovation done in 2017 designed for modern living. Set on 0.41 acres of landscaped grounds in Fisher Hill, the home preserves its architectural integrity while introducing clean, timeless finishes and thoughtfully updated living spaces. Oversized windows, tall ceilings, bespoke millwork, detailed crown moldings, and four fireplaces highlight the home’s craftsmanship and warmth throughout.

Extending over 5,423 square feet, the house was designed equally for formal entertaining and everyday family life. A welcoming entry with a fireplace opens into the main living areas. The living room is bright and inviting with expansive bowed windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and French doors that open to the wraparound deck. Just beyond, the window-lined dining room is perfect for intimate dinners or larger gatherings, with its own French doors opening to the deck for an easy indoor-outdoor flow.

At the center of the home, the renovated open kitchen and family room create a warm and welcoming gathering space. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, an oversized island, pantry storage, and a sunny eat-in banquette, while the adjoining family room includes a gas fireplace and built-in bookshelves. A French door off the kitchen leads directly to the wraparound deck, creating an easy connection to outdoor dining and grilling. A half bathroom and cubby-lined mudroom complete this level.

Upstairs, a gracious landing flows between the second-floor rooms. The primary suite features a spacious bedroom with a fireplace, spa-like bath, and walk-in closet. An en-suite bedroom, an additional bedroom and full bathroom, office, and laundry complete this level. The bright third floor offers flexible space with three additional rooms and a full bathroom — ideal for bedrooms, offices, play space, or guests.

The walkout lower level is well connected to the kitchen and offers a completely separate living space with its own private entrance, en-suite bedroom, equipped kitchen, window-lined family room, and ample storage.

Outside, the tiered grounds include a wraparound deck, bluestone patio, and playful lawn framed by mature trees, landscaping and seasonal plantings. Both private and picturesque, the setting is equally suited for quiet everyday moments or larger gatherings.

The property offers a rare sense of space and privacy while still being close to Washington Square’s restaurants, cafés, and shops. Brookline High School is just down the street, with Runkle School and many of the area’s other top schools nearby. The Green Line “D” train is just blocks away, and the Fisher Hill setting provides easy access to Longwood Medical, Boston, Cambridge, Logan Airport, and Route 128.
