Stately Victorian townhouse is an urban respite
The 10-foot ceilings on the first floor of this Victorian townhouse in Jamaica Plain offer respite from its compact neighborhood while a third-floor master suite provides a soaking tub. On the second floor are three spacious bedrooms, all drenched in natural light and each painted a different color, and an updated bath with white wainscoting, hardwood floor, and clawfoot tub. The front hallway, with a ribbon light meandering on the ceiling, leads into the living room with chocolate walls, shiny white crown molding, a bay window, and a white marble fireplace.
The adjacent dining room is mango gold with a working wood stove inset into another white marble fireplace. The amply-sized kitchen, also mango gold, has high-end appliances and vibrant maple cabinets. There is a pantry and a half-bath. The large master bedroom, tan with white ceilings, has double cedar closets and recessed lighting. The pale green master bath has double sinks, Palladian windows, wood floor, electric fireplace, separate shower and tub. The office (which can be a bedroom) is good sized. The basement is a renovated family room with hardwood floors and lots of natural light. There is a one off-street parking space.
