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.
