Elevated above Jamaica Plain’s Forest Hills on a rare oversized lot near the Arnold Arboretum, this newly renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence with a dedicated home office pairs the scale and 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, yet Forest Hills Station, Brassica Kitchen + Cafe, Centre Street, and the shops, restaurants, parks, and green spaces that define Jamaica Plain are just moments away. Expansive landscaped grounds with mature plantings, patios, and a large yard create an exceptional sense of space and connection to the outdoors rarely found in city living. Inside, approximately 1,600 square feet of beautifully designed living space features high ceilings, oversized windows, abundant natural light, and thoughtfully curated finishes throughout. Original Victorian details, including the fireplace and handrails, have been carefully preserved, bringing warmth and character to the newly renovated interiors. Open living and dining spaces flow into a chef’s kitchen with GE Caf appliances, custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and a generous island designed for everyday living and entertaining. Four bedrooms are complemented by three beautifully finished full bathrooms, while a separate office provides a true work-from-home space without sacrificing a bedroom. The home’s distinctive mansard architecture has been thoughtfully restored, including repairs to its original slate, while a new rubber roof adds an important modern improvement. Most notably, the residence includes deeded roof rights, presenting a rare opportunity to create a spectacular private roof deck above the treetops, with city views as the backdrop for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Offering the space and functionality of many Jamaica Plain single-family homes, substantial landscaped grounds, parking, historic character, and extraordinary outdoor potential, this is a truly distinctive Jamaica Plain home.
