About this home

Tucked away on a peaceful dead-end street in one of Jamaica Plain’s most beloved neighborhoods, this enchanting top-floor one-bedroom condominium offers a blend of historic character, modern comforts and effortless city living. Bathed in natural light and rich with architectural charm, the home welcomes you with exposed brick, inviting living spaces, and a lovely bay-windowed bedroom where sunlight streams in throughout the day. The thoughtfully updated eat-in kitchen pairs timeless white shaker cabinetry with gleaming new quartz countertops, a new sink, a gas range and generous storage. A beautifully tiled bathroom with smart modern fixtures round out the upgrades. Beyond the home’s inviting interiors, a spacious enclosed yard and patio provide a lovely setting for relaxing outdoors, while private basement storage, common laundry, and a well-maintained, professionally managed association with low condominium fees offer practical conveniences. And then there is the neighborhood itself. Spend leisurely mornings exploring the Arnold Arboretum, enjoy an afternoon stroll around Jamaica Pond, or wander the Southwest Corridor. Linger over coffee at one of three nearby cafés: Fiore’s Bakery, Monumental Market and Viza; browse the shelves at Papercuts or visit the Jamaica Plain Branch Library. The lively shops and restaurants of South and Centre Streets are not to be missed. A rare combination of tranquility, character, and neighborhood charm, this delightful home offers an inviting retreat in the heart of one of Boston’s most vibrant communities.

MLS school names do not guarantee attendance. Assignment can vary by school year, grade and admissions policy; confirm with the district before committing.
What do these numbers mean?

DESE accountability percentiles (1–99) compare schools administering similar assessments, using up to two years of indicators. These are not test scores out of 100 or GreatSchools 1–10 ratings. Progress toward targets is a separate state measure. Consider programs, support services and your child’s needs as well.

School names link to available school or district websites.
