Pool house design in Brookline Village
Brookline Village is Brookline's late-19th-century brick + brownstone row houses (1875-1900) submarket. Brookline operates as a separate Massachusetts town rather than a Boston neighborhood — its Building Department, zoning code, and Preservation Commission are entirely independent of Boston ISD, with Brookline tending to apply stricter substantive review on facade work than Boston BLC subsidiary commissions.

Because Brookline Village's row-house stock between Washington Street and Cypress Street was built on the original Boston-to-Brookline streetcar line (now the MBTA D-Branch Green Line), basement-grade conditions vary substantially across blocks — most kitchen-relocation projects here engage Brookline's Conservation Commission on stormwater-management review when foundation work is involved.
Brookline By-Law Article 5.06 imposes inclusionary affordability requirements on multi-unit conversions that don't apply in adjacent Boston neighborhoods — a 4-unit building converted to condos in Brookline Village typically reserves 10-15% of units at affordable-pricing tiers, which materially affects renovation-budget planning.
Cabanas, pool-deck pavilions, guest structures on low-density suburban lots — Wellesley, Newton, Brookline-permitted accessory structures with full plumbing + electrical.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
