If proximity to Roslindale Village is on your wish-list, 140 Birch is precisely where you’d want to be. This lovely, top floor 2 bedroom condo will check a lot of your boxes. It’s got a versatile floor plan, two private decks, exclusive parking, private storage, and central AC. It’s under a half mile from Roslindale Village (a.k.a. Rozzie Square) where you’ll find dozens of businesses including shops, pubs, grocers, butchers, bakers, (sorry, no candlestick makers yet), and a ton of tasty restaurants.

This post-WWI four square 3 family home sits on a shaded corner lot and features a classic stucco and wood trim exterior. Ascend the bright stairwell to the top floor and find an open floor plan with new recessed light and bedrooms on opposite ends. The primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and a deep, double closet with a modern built-in shelving system. The secondary bedroom makes a perfect office, exercise, or overnight guest spot. A granite breakfast bar separates the open living/dining area from the sunny kitchen alcove, leading to one of two private open air decks. The other, larger deck is off the dining area and faces north, towards the Village.

Amenities like exclusive parking, private washer/dryer (located in basement), private storage, and central AC round out checkmarks for the most discerning buyers.

A few words about the location. Birch runs from the top of Durnell Avenue down and straight into Roslindale Village. Under a half mile jaunt from door to village brings you to one of the coolest little hamlets in the city of Boston. Home to a true variety of restaurants and shops, there’s truly something for everyone. Homemade ice cream? Head to Jimmie’s. That freshly baked scent that pleasantly wafts over? Fornax Bakery probably just finished another batch of sourdough boule or rosemary batard. The toe-tapping drumbeat and guitar strumming? Square Root Cafe has another live performance by some quality local acts. There’s also the 15 minute train to downtown, a myriad of buses headed to Forest Hills. A little further past the village, if you’re up for enjoying nature, you’ll find the Peters Hill section of the world renowned Arnold Arboretum. We can’t forget that 140 Birch is just around the corner from Tony’s Market (at the corner of Durnell and Washington) where you’ll find not only the best selection of meats and poultry that money can buy, but most often the legend himself, Tony DeBenedictis, behind the counter. And just up Washington Street, towards Dedham, lies Stonybrook Reservation, full of trees and trails, enough to spend several days of woodsy exploration.

140 Birch is the complete package: it’s updated, on the top floor, has outdoor space, AC, and parking. It’s in a spectacular location. Don’t miss out!

Boston Home Team Favorites

753 South - Well executed bistro food, casual chic, hideaway patio, and it’s the coolest place to meet up in the Village.

Delfino - Arguably the best Italian in all of Boston. Fight us.

Effie’s Kitchen - Authentic Greek food from gyros to salads and mouthwatering pita bread.

Fornax Bread - Artisan bakery serving coffee and other delights. Rozzie’s best egg sandwich contender?

Square Root Rozzie - Arthouse music cafe meets sandwich board pub. Live music, great beer, good food. THE place for live music in Roslindale.

Sophia’s Grotto - Regular fave for many local Rozidents. Romantically tucked away from the streets in the middle of the Village.

Tony’s Market - Butcher shop + Italian foods & specialty items. “The best” - Tony. He’s right.

Roslindale Farmers Market - It’s a community party every week! Also, it’s Boston’s oldest, longest running Farmers Market.

Distraction Brewery - Delicious locally brewed suds on the first floor of the same building that houses the Bay State Model Train Museum upstairs.

Obosá - Tasty Nigerian fare halfway up Belgrade, on the road to West Roxbury. Get the puff puff and/or the joloff!

Pleasant Cafe - A classic mid-century throwback restaurant with legendary pizza.
