This is a limited equity unit and the Buyer must owner-occupy. Income limits as follows: 1 HH $92,640; 2 HH $105,920; 3 HH $119,120; 4 HH $132,320; 5 HH $142,960. Assets may not exceed $75,000, not including retirement, HSAs, and some college savings accounts. See attached disclosures for FAQ.Built in 2006, this inviting 3-bed, 2-bath home blends modern comforts with classic JP charm. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is made for gathering, while the king-sized primary suite offers a quiet, private retreat. Two additional queen bedrooms and a full guest bath provide plenty of space for friends and family, hobby rooms, or working from home. In-unit laundry, ducted HVAC, private back porch, deeded parking, and abundant basement storage complete the package. Not to mention, pets are welcome and the HOA has strong owner occupancy! Just outside you’ll find a blooming community garden, plenty to drink and dine along Centre Street, or unwind at Jamaica Pond and the Arnold Arboretum. Multiple Orange Line stops and the 39 bus are just minutes away. Units like this do not become available often. If you've been holding out for a unicorn - this is it!
