The Story Behind 265 Dean Road | Home Renovation in Brookline

by Jeff Hamilton | Apr 28, 2025 | Homeownership

In the depths of Covid in June of 2020, we purchased 265 Dean Road in Brookline. Despite having finishes, fixtures and “updates” that were somewhere between 30 and 105 years old, we had a vision for what it could become with a little imagination and a lot...
