About this home
The News building is located in Sumner Hill, the figurative heart of Jamaica Plain. Under the direction of McKay Architects in 2008, the building that once housed Jamaica Plain's first newspaper was boldly converted into stylish modern homes. Architectural touches like soaring 20 foot ceilings, a dramatic glass enclosed balcony, and jaw-dropping roof deck combine with cutting edge tech and high-end finishes to create an unparalleled living experience. The kitchen is sleekly outfitted with Silestone counters, Viking appliance suite, custom Metropolitan cabinets, and under-cabinet LED theater lighting; the perfect scenario for the creative culinarian. Each bathroom offers its own spa-like experience; one with a jetted tub, the other with a luxury shower. Well-considered California closets outfit both bedrooms. The master is also equipped with built-in sound masking & remote controlled shades, while the second bedroom enjoys 20' ceilings and direct access to a private cobblestone patio.
