Nature lover’s gem in JP
If you took a turn off Allandale Street in Jamaica Plain not far from Allandale Woods, and ended up on Brownson Terrace’s picturesque cul-de-sac, you’d probably spot the custom Cape at 10 Brownson Terrace and keep going. What you won’t know is that behind the unassuming, if meticulously maintained exterior, lies an exceptional family home looking for only its third owner.
Extensive remodeling and a steadfast attention to detail have enhanced this New England classic with too many upgrades to name. But let’s try.
If the “kitchens sell homes” adage is true, 10 Brownson’s kitchen is up to the task. The huge, eat-in space is sunfilled thanks to a skylight, glass sliders to one of the home’s decks and custom storage throughout, all under an extra tall vaulted ceiling.
The living room, with its big picture window and handsome gas fireplace is equally impressive. For formal dining occasions, the dining room enjoys easy access to kitchen and a period built-in hutch.
Officially, the home has four well-proportioned bedrooms — including one with direct access to a luxe second-floor deck — and three modern baths, but that’s barely scratching the surface of what the home’s more
