About this home
A Must-See to truly appreciate this home! Perched above the street, this beautifully maintained 9-room, 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers inviting living space, thoughtful updates, and exceptional outdoor areas across three finished levels. The main level features an updated kitchen with granite countertops, tiled backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances, along with a convenient half bath. The formal dining room boasts a charming built-in cabinet, while the fireplaced living room offers a warm and inviting gathering space. A comfortable family room opens directly to a deck overlooking the private backyard. A versatile bonus room leads to an expansive private deck with a retractable awning—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms and a stunning full bath featuring both a walk-in shower and soaking tub. The partially finished lower level provides additional living space, laundry, and ample storage. Major improvements include the roof, siding, and windows, all completed within the past five years. Ideally located near Centre Street shops and restaurants, Roche Bros., West On Centre, and the commuter rail. Come see why this special home is well worth the walk up! OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY & SUNDAY, 1:30–3:00 PM.
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.
