About this home

Welcome home to this beautifully maintained Jamaica Plain single-family, offering 5 generously sized bedrooms and 2 full baths across a layout that blends timeless New England character with modern, sustainable living. Rarely does a home combine this much space with this level of efficiency: solar hot water and a full solar electric system work in tandem with high-efficiency heat pumps and mini-splits throughout, keeping utility costs remarkably low year-round while reducing your environmental footprint. Whether you're eco-conscious or simply tired of high energy bills, this home delivers real, everyday savings. The home has been de-leaded. Inside, beautiful wood floors flow throughout every room, creating warmth and continuity from the bedrooms to the sun-filled common living spaces. Each bedroom offers plenty of room to spread out, work from home, set up a nursery, or guest suite...and the two full bathrooms make busy mornings a breeze. Step outside to your private deck, an ideal spot for morning coffee, evening entertaining, or simply relaxing outdoors after a long day. Downstairs, a full basement offers abundant storage for all of life's extras and laundry, while a rare 2-car driveway provides everyday convenience that's hard to come by in this part of the city. Location is everything, and this one truly delivers. You're just steps from the Orange Line for an effortless commute into downtown Boston or bus to Longwood Medical Area (LMA), and minutes from everything that makes Jamaica Plain one of the city's most beloved neighborhoods: JP Centre's beloved local shops, cafes, and restaurants, the stunning Arnold Arboretum, the versatility of Jamaica Pond, Franklin Park, and the greater Emerald Necklace park system. Enjoy the weekly farmers market, easy access to grocery favorites, great local breweries and coffee shops, and a picturesque walking trail just around the corner, perfect for daily strolls, runs, or dog walks. Dogs will be considered. Available September 1st.
