Set on a rare oversized lot near the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain’s Forest Hills, this newly renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath duplex combines the character of a grand Victorian with sophisticated modern design. Surrounded by mature trees and thoughtfully landscaped grounds, 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 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. Just off the living area, a private deck extends the home outdoors and creates a natural setting for dining, entertaining, or relaxing. The main level also features a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and private bath, plus a powder room. The garden level offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and in-unit laundry. 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.
