About this home

You will love the classic triple decker style in the middle of an eclectic Jamaica Plain neighborhood perched high upon a hill. Great Boston Skyline views from the back deck make you feel like you are in the middle of it all while the view of the yard below reminds you of the reason to love this spot, elbow room! This home is filled with natural wood molding and flooring which provides warmth to this bright, third floor, two bedroom home. The kitchen boasts a suite of brand new stainless steel appliances that were just installed for you. Bay windows in the living and dining rooms add to the character along with the plate rail and build-in China cabinet. Convenient to Centre and South Street shops & restaurants, Orange line T, and the Arnold Arboretum add to the allure of city living and this home delivers!
