About This Home
As of June 2023Sunny & spacious this beautifully updated penthouse 3 bedroom, one bathroom home with off-street parking, is located in the Parkside neighborhood of Jamaica Plain. The highly desired open floor plan offers a great flow from the living room to the dining room to the chef’s kitchen that features butcher block countertops, stainless appliances, ample cabinetry & a breakfast bar – great for entertaining. There’s also an updated fully tiled bath with newer vanity, in-unit laundry, high ceilings, recessed lighting wood floors thru-out, private front and rear porches, and plenty of private basement storage. Many building updates include a newer roof, a recently painted front hallway, and a lovely landscaped backyard just in time for those bar-b-qs. Close to the "T", Franklin Park, the emerging Washington St corridor and all that JP has to offer.
