Spacious 3–4 BR / 1.5 Bath in the Heart of Jamaica Plain — Available Aug 1
Owner-occupied. Thoughtfully renovated. Long-loved by tenants who stayed a decade.

Welcome to one of Jamaica Plain's most livable pockets — a generous,... sun-filled apartment in a quiet, owner-occupied 3-family home where the landlord actually lives.

At approximately 1,200 sq ft, this first-floor unit gives you real space to breathe:

3 true bedrooms plus a separate living room and dining room that flex easily into a 4th bedroom setup for an additional fee. Graduate students often use the oversized living room as a primary bedroom and convert the dining room into a lounge — the layout is that versatile.

Updated in 2019, the apartment features a beautifully redone eat-in kitchen with new cabinetry, a fully gutted-and-rebuilt bathroom with new shower, a brand-new half bath, and fresh flooring and carpet throughout. A shared washer/dryer was added in 2021.

The building was also newly insulated — a real win for your utility bills.
Step outside to your own private side porch, plus a shared backyard — ideal for morning coffee or unwinding after class.
