asking $565,000
In the heart of Jamaica Plain, this sweet and turnkey 2 bed with bonus office is ready for its next chapter.
In an attached 6 family, but operated as a 3 unit association, this middle floor 2 bed charms visitors with its vintage wide plank flooring, high ceilings, decorative medallions, and abundant afternoon sunlight. The living room at the heart of the home is open to the large kitchen with countertop seating, granite counters, maple cabinets, stainless appliances, gas cooking, and walk-in pantry. Relax outdoors on a private, freshly restored wood deck which overlooks the common rear garden. At the front of the unit, an oversized bedroom with 2 closets, bow front west facing windows bringing in dreamy afternoon sunlight which adds warmth to the wide plank flooring. Any houseplants requiring a lot of light or sunbathing animals will be quite content here!
Off this room, an equally sunny room that works perfectly for your home office, creative or workout space. A second bedroom at the rear offers privacy and convenience with an adjacent full bath that was remodeled in 2018, with glass enclosed shower, stylish black & white floor tile, and vanity.
In the basement, private storage can be found as well as exclusive use washer & dryer (each unit has their own so no stress about sharing!). The HOA has no pet restrictions, so read on if you’re wondering where to take the pup for some exercise.
Now let’s talk about the location. You have several nearby options for your daily nature excursions. The main entrance to the Arnold Arboretum is under ½ mile from your door. You’re also fairly close to Jamaica Pond, about ½ mile, and a worthwhile journey to and fro. Pass through some of JP’s “dream streets” off Centre Street and peep landmark Pondside homes along the way. In the opposite direction, off Centre or South Streets, all of JP’s greatest hits (JP Licks, City Feed, Galway House, Vee Vee, Salmagundi, Papercuts, to name a few) are within a ½ mile of your doorstep. Forest Hills Station is just a touch over ½ mile, along South Street or Arborway. Or, if you want to bus it, catch the #39, which takes you into Longwood and Copley, at South & Sedgwick, 0.3 miles away. Do you prefer to bike instead? The Southwest Corridor Path and Jamaicaway Bike path have you covered!
Owned since 2004, the owners were original owner occupants and then held onto it as a rental, adding updates over the years. Most recent rent was $2800 (2023). Whether you’re a first time buyer, downsizer, or someone looking to add to their portfolio, 38 Goldsmith is a solid investment. Also: 38 Goldsmith is certified lead-free!
