About this home
Welcome home to 184 Perham Street, a captivating single-family residence that effortlessly marries classic architectural charm with the luxury of modern, top-to-bottom renovations. Location is everything! West Roxbury is one of Boston’s most sought-after neighborhoods - enjoy a quiet suburban feel while still being incredibly close to Longwood medical area, vibrant shops and dining options along Centre Street, YMCA, local parks, and schools: Boston College, Roxbury Latin, Catholic Memorial, Brimmer & May, Beaver, St Sebs, and Nobles. Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street, this turn-key 4 well-appointed bedroom, 3 1/2 bathroom colonial home offers sun-drenched, open floor plan living/dining, beautifully designed kitchen with white shaker inset cabinets with quartz counters, large private family room opens into the private backyard perfect for entertaining guests. Wide staircase opens smartly to a second floor, a primary bedroom with stunning vaulted ceilings, en-suite bath and large walk-in shower. Only steps from the West Roxbury commuter rail for a seamless trip into Back Bay and downtown Boston! Commuting by car is also a breeze with quick access to the VFW Parkway, Route 1, and Route128 & Amtrak station.
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.
