Description

Hillary has described his/her home in English.

What you will love about this home

On the inside we have kept the lovely aura of Victorian architecture, blended with the best of modern living including radiant heat in the kitchen and master bathroom, authentic gas fireplace in the drawing room set in the original marble mantle, and finished basement complete with gym, theatre sound TV, and full bathroom.

On the outside we have a private hide-away garden with patio furniture, BBQ, and small fishpond enclosed by flower beds and towering trees overhead. The house has a private driveway for 2 cars and sits right on the edge of Boston's Southwest Corridor Park, with the subway a 2 minute walk away for popping downtown.

What you will love about this neighborhood

Boston is made up of unique neighborhoods, and Jamaica Plain is on the more eclectic side mixing all types of people with the biggest public green spaces of the city, people are always out running, biking, dog walking, or just listening to the birds.

A five minute walk from our home takes you past classic Victorian homes and into the busy heart of JP with restaurants that are regularly featured in the Best of Boston. Walk another 5 minutes and enjoy a stroll around the largest pond in Boston or disappear into the oldest arboretum in the USA. Head in the opposite direction and find yourself at Franklin Park with the oldest zoo in the country.

Take the subway (yes, the oldest subway system in the USA) or better yet bike down a system of parks known as the Emerald Necklace to catch the big city glamour and experience the other neighborhoods of Boston and Cambridge.

The only time you need a car is when you want to escape the city (perhaps for a trip to Cape Cod) or if the grocery shopping is too big to walk back form the local supermarkets.
