This beautifully maintained 3-bed colonial offers a bright, sun-filled open-air plan perfectly for everyday living. The updated kitchen features stylish quartz countertops, modern tile backsplash, soft-close cabinetry & newer stainless-steel appliances - dishwasher (2025), refrigerator (2025) & gas range (2026). Hardwood floors extend throughout the home. A finished attic & partially finished basement provide additional living area. Two spacious full bathrooms offer added convenience for everyday living. Major update includes conversion from oil to natural gas heating in 2018 with a new high-efficiency gas furnace. Step outside to enjoy the fully fenced backyard. It also features a detached garage and a private driveway, providing ample off-street parking. Easy access to public transportation, shopping, restaurants & parks, this move-in-ready home seamlessly blends classic colonial charm with thoughtful updates in one of West Roxbury's most sought-after neighborhoods.
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.
