About this home

RARELY available 1 bedroom unit penthouse now for sale in the Jamaica Plain Brewery District Neighborhood! Renovated from the inside out, this unit wows with sky-lit cathedral ceilings and an open floor plan. There's a bonus loft space (5'2" ceiling height) for bedding, storage or guests! The full sized bedroom (12'x12') has its bath en suite w/ W/D and ample closet space. There is new plumbing, new wiring, and systems as well as full insulation, both in the walls and floors between units (for maximum privacy). The kitchen, w/ quartz counters and stainless steel appliances is ready for your first meal! Directly off the kitchen there's a private deck with composite flooring. The surrounding greenery lifts the unit out of the city and into the trees. But it is CLOSE to everything: Located just seconds (0.2 miles) from Stony Brook T station, across from the JPNDC Brewery Complex, and minutes from world renowned Franklin Park, Porter Street is a quintessential Jamaica Plain location.
