This rarely available penthouse home on historic Sumner Hill is the perfect blend of Victorian charm and modern living. It features a sun-drenched eat-in-kitchen with a door to your own private deck, 2 grand bedrooms, a spacious full bathroom, and a vast living room with a wood-burning stove, soaring ceilings, and a unique charm that can only be fully appreciated by visiting in person. Its 1765 square feet of living space includes multiple nooks throughout, perfect for a variety of uses including a home office, play area, or exercise space. There is in-unit laundry, A/C by mini-split, & ample storage space in the basement. Enjoy the large shared grass yard, patio, and organic garden. This unit has the deeded right to add its own parking spot off the common driveway, although the sellers have never needed it with the abundance of street parking. The quiet, verdant neighborhood is just steps from restaurants, shops, green spaces, the T & all the best that Jamaica Plain has to offer!
