18 Boynton Street #3 Jamaica Plain
Up on the Roof
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space

This 2 bed/1 bath penthouse with central air, private roof deck and garage parking is calling! Bountiful sunlight graces this top floor home from the large cherry cabinet kitchen at the rear to the oversized living room at the front. A bonus alcove is suitable as a dining space or home office. 2 bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet, a tiled bath and in-unit laundry complete the indoor space.
Seeking a spot to unwind outdoors? There are two options here: A private porch off one bedroom is the perfect spot to sip morning coffee. Head up to the roof deck from an internal stairwell where you can entertain visitors and dine al fresco in the warmer months. There’s plenty of sunlight and space for container gardening too. The season is here!
Boynton Street is nicely situated between the Southwest Corridor Park and South Street. Leave the car in your private garage space and utilize three options for commuting: Forest Hills Station (.3 miles away for subway and commuter rail), #39 Bus that runs along South Street all the way past the Brigham and into Copley Square (catch that right around the corner), or the bike path that runs down the Southwest Corridor Park from Forest Hills into the South End.
For green space, aside from the aforementioned Southwest Corridor Park (which has plenty of green grass for picnic and play), there is Franklin Park and its more than 700 acres, and the Arnold Arboretum (Forest Hill Road/Willow Path entrance less than half mile away).
Locals LOVE the wonderfully convenient Happy Market, which is right around the corner from 18 Boynton. Private storage in the basement, 100% owner occupied, and pet-friendly.

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’s rolling hills are 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.
