Property Description

In Jamaica Plain’s historic Woodbourne, this 4-bedroom, 1.5 bath Dutch Gambrel cottage with driveway and landscaped yard conveys the feel of an English garden village. Set on curved roads, this early 1900s cluster of homes was arranged to invite neighborly proximity across treelined footpaths––facing each other rather than the street. That intimacy is part of what this lush, tree-filled neighborhood is known for. This home’s subtle pink stucco offsets an over 100-year slate roof. From the garden lawn, a covered porch greets you. Enter the corner living room with woodburning fireplace and dining room with high wainscotting and plate rails. The eat-in kitchen offers recessed lights and updated appliances. Off the foyer, a half bath. The bedroom level offers four corner bedrooms, two of them larger. 5-zone mini-split cooling/heating. In blocks, retreat to the rolling hills of Forest Hills Cemetery. Under a mile to Forest Hills T Station. Near the train, stop at Brassica Kitchen + Cafe.
