Tucked between trendy condos and multi-family homes, this classic 1920s side-entrance Colonial is a rare find in central Jamaica Plain. Overflowing with character, it boasts solid oak floorings, high ceilings, and many architectural details. Thoughtful updates blend old-world charm with modern conveniences, including a spacious, bright, open kitchen and dining area, mini-splits heating and AC, solar panels, and a finished third floor with skylights—perfect for a home office, family retreat, or extra bedroom. Step outside to an oversized back deck, an entertainer’s dream, overlooking a generous fenced-in backyard. With parks (the Southwest Corridor Park on one end), shops (Happy Market on the other end), and public transportation just moments away, this is your chance to own a truly special home in one of JP’s sought after locations.
