What This Condo Offers
Live on one of Jamaica Plain’s most desirable Pondside streets in this first-floor, walk-in 3-bed, 1-bath condo with big sunny windows and an eat-in kitchen,... just a 5-minute walk to Jamaica Pond. This privately owned condo is in a two-unit building on Burroughs Street, close to Centre Street’s cafes and restaurants, parks, and transit.
A welcoming front foyer opens directly from the main entry into a bright living room (former dining room) with original hardwood floors, oversized windows, and a classic built-in glass cabinet. All three bedrooms have hardwood floors, and the front bedroom has bay windows. The renovated 2018 eat-in kitchen features granite counters, gas cooking, stainless-steel fridge and dishwasher, microwave, extensive cabinet storage, and a huge pantry, with space for a dining table and durable wood-look luxury vinyl flooring. Outside, a large shared backyard and back deck provide rare outdoor space in the heart of JP.
Practical features include ground-level access and one off-street parking space included in the rent. The unit also offers a free, designated washer and dryer plus a private storage room in the basement, along with updated smoke/CO detectors and electrical. The building was constructed before 1978 but has been deleaded and carries a 2018 Letter of Compliance. Heat is oil; tenants pay oil, gas for hot water and cooking, and electricity. No pets and no smoking. One-year lease from September 1, 2026 to August 31, 2027. Strong income, credit, references, and proof of renters insurance required.
