Spacious, well-maintained home just steps from the commuter rail, shops, and restaurants. Located on the 2nd floor of a quiet, owner-occupied two-family house, this sunny 1400 sq ft home offers 2 big bedrooms, a separate large office, sunroom, living room & dining room with original wood built-ins, eat-in chef's kitchen (stainless appliances, dishwasher, disposal) and bathroom with shower. The unit has been carefully renovated with comfort in mind (heat fan in bathroom & soundproofed bedroom floors) while still maintaining its 1920's charm. Perfect for someone who values quality, quiet and light. There is a large dedicated basement storage room with a full-size washer and dryer. Parking is secure and plentiful directly outside the door (no permits). 5 min walk to commuter rail, groceries and restaurants; 10 min drive to Whole Foods (Legacy Place) or to JP, Jamaica Pond and the Arboretum.
Water included; Gas and Electric by tenant. We are flexible about lease dates, ie shorter term lease until May or August 2025 or longer through 2026. Apt can be offered furnished if desired - please reach out.
I use she/her pronouns and am a psychotherapist/social worker with a previous career in architecture. I grew up in Jamaica Plain and my parents have now lived on the first floor of this house for over 20 years. My (very kind!) mother will be the primary contact for tenant’s needs; my sister lives nearby and while I live in NY now, I will always be available by phone and I visit regularly.

No fee. Requirements: application, background check, reference, first & last months rent.
2 Cats ok. Dogs ok if they are well trained and reasonably quiet for downstairs neighbors - would just like to meet them first! No deposit, just be responsible for any damage and make sure rugs are down to protect wood floors.
