Crowning a Central JP painted Victorian, just around the corner from Stony Brook T stop on the Orange Line, is this updated 2 bed condo, complete with an office.
The renovated kitchen with stainless appliances, granite counters, and center island is defined by rich, mahogany cabinetry and is part of an open floor plan that integrates a sizeable dining nook and airy living room. Sliding glass doors bring in the light and take you out onto the tranquil rear deck, perched among the treetops.
Abundant and useful open-shelving along with in-unit laundry line the hallway leading to the 2 bedrooms and den/office. The primary bedroom is a serene and spacious retreat, with a large closet also outfitted with custom shelving. The sizable office captures lots of sunlight and offers overflow space for guests or work from home. Additional storage and easy access to the common yard are found in the basement.
Backyard gardening can extend to nearby community gardens, bike paths make for car-free access to the city, and the neighborhood abounds with green space, festivals, little libraries, and more. Pets are welcome. 100% owner occupied association.
The location couldn’t be more convenient: A stone’s throw (under 0.2 miles!) from the Orange Line Stonybrook T station & the Southwest Corridor Park which extends bike paths between Forest Hills Station & Back Bay Station. Artisan convenient store & sandwich cafe, City Feed & Supply is literally around the corner for tasty treats & common staples. Or head up Boylston or Paul Gore to Centre Street where you’ll find many more restaurants, shops, grocers, and pubs. And further still (less than 0.7 miles from 146 Chestnut) you’ll find the Olmsted Emerald Necklace & Jamaica Pond.
146 Chestnut #3 has so much to offer and is the quintessential Jamaica Plain condominium.

A little about Jamaica Plain
For starters, locals call it JP. Once a vacation getaway for Boston’s elite merchants in centuries past, Jamaica Plain is now home to a diverse and exciting fabric of community activism, an array of tasty restaurants and other small businesses, and many wonderful green spaces in and around the area. Surrounded by Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace, JP is one of the greenest neighborhoods in Boston.
Boston Home Team Favorites*
Tres Gatos - Where else can you shop for music & books while you wait to be seated in a cozy, delicious taperia?
El Oriental de Cuba - A family operated authentic Cuban restaurant with outrageously good sandwiches. Their espresso style coffee is deliciosa!
Brendan Behan Pub - This is where the locals gather, in front, inside, and out back. A JP institution since the late 80s. Grab a late night bite from Food Wall across the street, and bring it over why don’t you?
Chilacates - Authentic Mexican street food. The very first location opened in JP on Amory Street, close to 146 Chestnut! 5 additional locations have since opened. Deeelish.
City Feed & Supply - Two locations in JP. The original “Little” City Feed is around the corner from 146 Chestnut. Locally owned, locally sourced (when/where possible) foods and groceries. They have a yummy sandwich menu (farmer’s lunch, anyone?) and one helluva tasty breakfast sandwich.
Blue Nile - Lovely Ethiopian classics in a warm and friendly environment.
Seed - A locally owned and operated dispensary and social justice museum in the space once occupied by the erstwhile JP Bowl and old Milky Way Lounge & Lanes.
For Pizza we can’t pick just one: Same Old Place, Nemo’s, Il Panino, Ideal? There are too many to list!
The Haven - Boston’s only actual Scottish Pub with a burger so mouthwatering it’s a surprise that it’s legal.
Events and Organizations to Explore:
Franklin Park Coalition, Spontaneous Celebrations and W.U.T.E, JP NDC, JP Local First
* Editor’s note: There are so many more tasty spots in JP and if we listed them all, we’d be here all day. Once you buy this listing from the Boston Home Team, you’ll have all the time in the world to explore this rich and diverse food scene!
ALSO, don’t miss the return of the annual Wake Up the Earth Festival just around the corner from 146 Chestnut in front of Stonybrook Station NEXT SATURDAY, May 7th.
