This home is in a fantastic location and has been fantastically renovated by the current owner (Photo Provided).

From inside to out, this home is a textbook example for redesign and renovation. “[The owner] has really utilized every square inch of it,” says Cabot & Company listing agent Rene Rodriguez. “This is all new; it was not done before.”

From the custom chef’s style kitchen and luxurious master suite, to radiant heated flooring throughout the bathrooms, to walk-in closets and marble flooring, this home has been impeccably restored.

“It’s really the way the rooms flow in to each other, and the ways that the rooms flow to the outdoors, that make it a great space for family living or entertaining,” says Rodriguez.

The backyard delights as well, as it has been redesigned into a veritable Eden, with pergola-covered lounge areas, landscape lighting, full irrigation, bluestone patios and walkways, an eight-person whirlpool, as well as connections for gas and music–perfect for hosting guests.

The home sits nicely on a tree-lined block directly between Centre Street (one of the business hubs of JP) and Eliot Street (known for beautiful, estate-sized homes) within a 10-minute walk of Jamaica Pond and the Arnold Arboretum.
