Set on a tree lined street in Jamaica Plain's coveted Moss Hill neighborhood, this three bedroom single family home sits just a block from the Arnold Arboretum and offers space to spread out both inside and out. Original character runs throughout, from the woodwork and wood windows to well maintained shingles and a working wood fireplace. The primary suite is a true retreat, with soaring ceilings, a gas fireplace, a large closet, and its own bathroom for quiet mornings and evenings. Freshly refinished wood floors add warmth underfoot as you move from room to room. The large living room provides space for entertaining or relaxing, while a gracious front sitting room and sunroom add flexibility for a home office, reading nook, music room, or extra lounge space, giving the layout room to flex with everyday life. Outside, a stone patio and the expansive backyard offer room to garden, host, play, or simply enjoy the outdoors. A two car garage adds parking plus storage for bikes, tools, and gear galore. Longwood Medical, Centre Street, Jamaica Pond, the Emerald Necklace, Brookline and the Faulkner are all within easy reach, rounding out this home's connection to the neighborhood around it.
ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,088 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 7,500 sq ft.
Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
