Nestled on the peaceful heights of Moss Hill, this meticulously renovated Colonial is where modern living meets timeless warmth and charm. As you step inside, you’re drawn into a space designed for connection and comfort. The first floor is all about gathering: game nights, movie marathons, or cozy evenings by the fireplace with family and friends. The capacious living room is at its heart, where life is well-lived and memories are made, while the adjoining sunroom glows with natural light. The dining room, with its adjacent alcove, is perfect for long meals and lively conversation. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, blending rich maple and stone with a 6-burner stove, a center island, and custom breakfast nook ideal for casual dining. The private backyard with a flagstone patio & terraced gardens creates an easy flow to the natural world. Upstairs, discover the primary suite, a serene retreat of two spacious rooms, abundant closets, and a luxurious 4-piece tiled bath with laundry. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family or guests, and a hidden atelier offers a creative escape on the top floor. Downstairs, the lower level is practical and versatile, a room for work or play, laundry, plentiful storage, and a deep two-car garage. The lush and inviting grounds that surround the house are a private sanctuary of yards and gardens, with distinctive plantings including a grape arbor and raised vegetable beds for the avid gardener. Beautiful stone walls and paths, front and back, are at once welcoming and private year-round. Between Jamaica Pond and the Arnold Arboretum, you’re nearby the green spaces Jamaica Plain is noted for, with the energy of the city never too far off. This home is designed for the moments and years that matter most.

Jamaica Hills-Pond, located between Jamaica Plain and Mission Hill, is a residential and park-adjacent Boston neighborhood with pondside paths and hillside streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Jamaicaway at Perkins Street, where runners, cyclists, and dog-walkers stream past stone bridges and leafy overlooks. Early-20th-century brick apartments and triple-deckers line curving roads that rise toward the Emerald Necklace. Jamaica Pond’s boathouse and shoreline loop set the daily rhythm, while nearby cultural anchors add a city-edge feel. The Arnold Arboretum’s gates and the Longwood Medical Area’s bustle sit close enough to shape commutes and weekends.
