About this home

Elevated above Jamaica Plain’s Forest Hills on a rare oversized lot near the Arnold Arboretum, this newly renovated 3-bedroom, 3-bath duplex combines the character of a grand Victorian with sophisticated modern design. Surrounded by mature trees and sweeping views, the setting feels remarkably private and removed from the city. High ceilings, oversized windows, beautiful hardwood floors, and original architectural details give the home warmth and character, while the open living and dining spaces are designed for modern living. At the heart of the home is a striking chef’s kitchen with GE Café appliances, stone countertops, custom cabinetry, and an oversized waterfall island. A bedroom and full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and private bath, joined by an additional bedroom, full bath, in-unit laundry, and a flexible sitting area ideal for a home office or second living space. Roof rights offer the opportunity to create additional private outdoor space, while beautifully landscaped common grounds and off-street parking complete the offering. Ideally located just moments from the Arnold Arboretum, Franklin Park, Forest Hills Station, Brassica Kitchen + Cafe, Centre Street, and the shops, restaurants, parks, and green spaces that define Jamaica Plain.
