Welcome to Brightside, a beautifully restored summer cottage built at the turn of the 20th century on the "gold coast" of Boston's North Shore.

• Cherished by just three families over its lifetime, the residence was built for James T. Phelps, of Boston, by John A. Hasty, a well-known Cambridge-based architect of the late nineteenth century.
• An oversized wraparound covered porch is handsomely screened in the back, creating a roomy private space for coastal living and entertaining.
• The residence features 7,697 square feet of living area with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, five fireplaces and has been meticulously maintained over the years. Located just one block from sandy Phillips Beach, this classic shingle-style retreat is sited on a generous lot with mature, manicured grounds framed by a magnificent privacy border of evergreens and shrubs that form a truly serene and secluded enclave.  
• Architectural details abound, from exquisite custom millwork in the grand entry hall, living room and dining room, to the elegant porte-cochere to the 83 bi-glass restored windows that flood the interiors with light and character.
• Inside, high ceilings, rich hardwoods, and preserved millwork blend seamlessly with thoughtful modern updates and the addition of a detached 3-car garage in 2002.
• Set among a collection of historic seaside estates, Brightside offers a rare chance to own a piece of New England history where charm, craftsmanship, and location come together just steps from the beach.
