Charming Jamaica Pond Oasis: Renovated Furnished Home Steps from JP Center

Description

Nestled just steps from Jamaica Pond and Jamaica Plain's vibrant Centre Street, this lovingly maintained furnished home offers the rare combination of peaceful retreat and city convenience. In just a two-minute walk, you can be enjoying the scenic paths around Jamaica Pond, meeting friends for coffee, dining at one of JP's many excellent and fun restaurants, eating delicious home-made ice cream at iconic JP licks, or heading to public transportation for easy access throughout Boston. What we love most about this home is that it feels like a hidden oasis. From the back porch and yard, you'll look out onto mature trees and greenery and feel as though you're in the countryside, yet you're in the heart of one of Boston's most desirable neighborhoods. It is a cozy, welcoming space that's perfect for a sabbatical, visiting appointment, research fellowship, or extended stay. The home offers approximately 1,850 square feet of living space with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bath. A finished lower-level media room includes a concealed pull-down queen bed, making it ideal for visiting family, guests, or additional workspace. Please note that there are 2.5 bathrooms, not 3 full bathrooms. There are two showers in the home. The recently renovated kitchen and bathrooms combine modern convenience with the home's warm character. The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, dishes, utensils, a gas stove, air fryer, Nespresso and Keurig machines, and everything needed for daily living or entertaining. Whether you are preparing a quiet meal at home or hosting colleagues and friends for dinner, the space is designed to be comfortable and functional. The living area includes a large television and high-quality sound system, creating a wonderful place to relax after work, enjoy music, or watch a movie. Full laundry facilities are located in the home. Climate control is provided through gas heat as well as modern mini-split air conditioning units located throughout the house, including the bedrooms and all levels of the home, ensuring comfort during Boston's warmer months. One bedroom is a traditional enclosed bedroom. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a loft-like character including both a frosted-glass interior window that allows natural light while maintaining privacy, and an exterior window. Outside, the property features private outdoor space and a large driveway with off-street parking, a significant advantage in Boston. The neighborhood is exceptionally walkable, with easy access to the MBTA, Jamaica Pond, parks, restaurants, cafes, shops, and the Longwood Medical Area. This home has been thoughtfully furnished with artwork and personal touches that are meaningful to us. We are looking for tenants who will appreciate the property and care for it as they would their own home during their stay.
