Open Hou$e$ in Brookline: How the Other Half Lives
Mostly, I love my little two-bedroom condo that requires nothing more than a comfortable futon and a quick vacuuming every now and then. Let’s just say I don’t spend much time dusting chandeliers and polishing marble floors.
Occasionally, though, I wonder what it would be like to live in a real mansion — you know, 10,000 square feet, a two-acre front lawn, a new bathroom for every day of the week. What would it be like to forget what I’m doing to the earth’s scarce resources for a moment and live in a place that costs a fortune to furnish, heat, and maintain?
Sigh… I guess I’ll never know. But if I get really curious, I might just visit these open houses in Brookline this weekend:
