About This Home

Fabulous top floor (3rd floor), 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom Jamaica Plain condo with central A/C, in-unit laundry, a huge shared yard, and deeded off-street parking. From the moment you enter the private interior staircase flanked by two stained glass windows, you'll be struck by this home's character, architectural details, and stylish accents. The expansive, sunny living room features one of the home's dramatic vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and an adorable pair of lunette quarter windows - solidly distinguishing the space far from the ordinary. Gorgeous wide plank pine floors are warm and inviting. Generously sized bedrooms and an eat-in kitchen with pantry enhance the ideal flexible layout. Many recent improvements: induction range ('22), washer/dryer ('22), refrigerator ('24), and more. The deeded storage area in the basement was nicely finished and currently serves as a cozy work-from-home space. Retreat to your private covered rear porch offering partial downtown views and 4th of July fireworks! The unusually large, level, shared back yard features a majestic silver maple tree and has served as a gathering space for everything from birthdays to block parties. Pride of ownership is evident in this three unit, 100% owner occupied building. Enjoy being close to shopping, Whole Foods, Stop & Shop, and JP's vibrant food scene featuring many types of cuisine. Very convenient to Longwood Medical Area. Commuting downtown is also a breeze via nearby Stony Brook T stop (Orange Line); or grab a Bluebike at Stony Brook to use along the Southwest Corridor's bike path to Back Back Station. Bus route 41 is also right at the end of Wyman street. Spend your downtime in green space exploring Jamaica Plain's portion of The Emerald Necklace with hundreds of acres of curated and natural beauty at Harvard University's Arnold Arboretum, Olmsted Park, Franklin Park, and Jamaica Pond. This lovingly maintained home is move-in-ready and provides the perfect place to create your life's next chapter. A virtual tour is posted on MLS.
