This charming single family is sited in one of Jamaica Plain’s most sought after neighborhoods.With mini splits and seller owned solar system this home has been lovingly maintained and includes a lovely back yard with deck. There is a full basement and 2 car parking in the driveway.
Jamaica Central-South Sumner, located between Jamaica Plain and Roxbury, is a residential and transit-linked Boston neighborhood with triple-decker streetscapes and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Jackson Square area at Centre Street and Columbus Avenue, where storefronts, murals, and MBTA entrances set a steady, street-level rhythm. Brick rowhouses mix with wood-frame homes, and small community gardens break up the blocks. The Southwest Corridor Park path and nearby Franklin Park edges shape daily routines on foot and bike. Cultural anchors such as Hibernian Hall, the Brewery Complex, and the Franklin Park Zoo add a distinctly local cadence.
