Across from the wooded lawn of the Eliot Art School, this Jamaica Plain single-family offers a view that changes with every season. Inlaid floors, original windows, and a front door with sidelights carry the home’s history forward. Bay windows brighten the living room, a formal dining room invites hosting, and a back family room awaits insulation to become a year-round space. Upstairs are two bedrooms, two full baths, a flex space, and two finished attic rooms for a studio, office, or guests. A separate entrance leads to a bedroom, bath, flex space, and kitchenette, offering options for extended family or independent living. The roof, windows, and exterior stairs need work, giving a buyer the chance to invest in a home whose character and location can’t be replicated. The home is close to Centre Street’s shops and restaurants, Jamaica Pond, the Arnold Arboretum and everything JP has to offer. Homes like this, in this location, don’t come around often!
