Federal-style single-family gem
The beautifully preserved Federal-style single-family at 47 Bynner St. in Jamaica Plain hasn’t always occupied the lot it’s currently sited on.
In fact, the early-1800s home was originally located at 115 Day St. — then known as Cross Street — and was relocated in 1915 wherein it was oriented sideways to allow for a side entrance. Sunshine streams through the now south-facing property, HOT PROPERTY flooding the historical home with natural light.
Through careful renovation, the home’s systems have received a major upgrade — think new roof, tankless hot water, high-efficiency boiler, and Harvey windows — without sacrificing the many period details that give the home character and heft. Among those, a stately foyer with a lovely wood staircase, paneled shutters, and two working fireplaces. Of the latter, the one that warms the bright, window-filled living room features an exquisitely detailed mantle ornament.
There’s a formal dining room with ample space for hosting large gatherings. From there, the eat-in kitchen has been upgraded with cherry cabinetry and granite countertops. A huge bonus for this part of JP — the first floor has direct access to a hardwood deck, garden, a flat, fenced-in yard, and a sweet patio shaded by a vine-wrapped pergola. Three comfortable bedrooms, an office space and one full bath share the home’s second floor.
An unbeatable location for commuters, the home is close to the Emerald Necklace, the Longwood Medical Area, and bus and T stops.
