About this home
This four-bedroom home needs work but has so much potential to restore. A charming 1931 Colonial on an 11,411 sq ft lot in sought-after West Roxbury with high ceilings, detailed moldings, hardwood floors, and a fireplace. The roof and gutters have been updated. The generous yard has room to expand and space to enjoy. A large basement with a walkout to the yard and off-street parking for four add everyday convenience. Enjoy easy access to the VFW Parkway, a convenient commute to downtown Boston, and close proximity to the commuter rail in downtown West Roxbury. This is one of those special homes with really good bones to work with. The structure has withstood the test of time, and this is one you will make your own for years to come.

Brook Farm, located between Jamaica Plain and Brookline, is a residential and park-adjacent Boston neighborhood with wooded edges and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Jamaica Way corridor at the Arnold Arboretum gates, where walkers, cyclists, and dog-leash loops set the daily rhythm. Housing leans toward classic New England forms—triple-deckers, brick apartments, and tucked-away condos—framed by mature trees and curving park roads. Arnold Arboretum’s paths and overlooks shape weekend routines, while the Emerald Necklace’s linear greenspace keeps the landscape feeling continuous. Cultural touchstones nearby include the Arnold Arboretum Visitor Center, the Loring-Greenough House, and the Jamaica Plain Branch of the Boston Public Library.
