Chestnut Hill, MA - (November 20, 2014) – James Nemetz, Manager and Senior Vice President of Hammond Residential Real Estate’s Chestnut Hill office, has been named as the exclusive marketing agent for 70 Heath Street in Brookline, a magnificent New England Colonial and former residence of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Amy Lowell.
