Listing broker remarks

Welcome home to this beautifully crafted, newer-construction home in the heart of Jamaica Plain’s coveted Sumner Hill Historic District — designed with distinctive eave brackets, high ceilings, and rich hardwood floors to respectfully echo the Italianate and Victorian character of its historic neighbors. This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home pairs period-inspired detail with a fully modern interior. The open floor plan flows effortlessly from a fireplaced living room into a well-appointed kitchen featuring Corian countertops and a handy office nook, perfect for remote work. Step directly from the kitchen onto the deck overlooking a lush perennial garden — a private retreat fully fenced for kids and pets. A first-floor laundry room and updated half bath add everyday ease. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two baths, including a generous primary suite with en-suite bath and walk-in closet. The finished ground floor includes a fourth bedroom and full bath — ideal as an au pair suite, home office, gym, or private guest space. Additional highlights include solar panels, abundant storage, and a rare 2.5-car garage. All this just a block from the Green Street Orange Line station and moments from JP’s eclectic shops, restaurants, parks, and green space — an exceptional combination of historic charm, neighborhood living, and easy access to downtown Boston.— Hammond Residential Real Estate
