Perched on a west-facing hillside in Jamaica Plain’s historic Bourne neighborhood, this single-family home offers incredible indoor-outdoor living at a condo price point.

The updated kitchen opens directly to a secluded terraced garden and deck, perfect for entertaining in a private yard filled with mature perennials, with sun and shaded areas. Upstairs, a second bedroom with a half bath serves as a quiet retreat. Enjoy peace of mind with fresh paint, a repointed basement, and a 2024 hot water.
