21 John A Andrew St

A rare offering in Jamaica Plain, this distinctive three-family Craftsman home beautifully balances original architectural character with thoughtful contemporary design. Designed to embrace natural light, the home's southern exposure fills the living and dining rooms with sunshine, while more than 20 windows in each apartment invite refreshing cross-breezes. The first and second floors offer spacious three-bedroom residences rich in original details, including built-in cabinetry, handsome woodwork, and Southern pine floors, complemented by modern conveniences. Crowning the home is a spectacular two-bedroom owner's residence, added in 2005 and designed by award-winning Next Phase Studios. Soaring 9.5-foot ceilings, maple floors, transom windows, and an open, airy floor plan culminate in an expansive picture window framing the wooded hills of Franklin Park. Outdoors, welcoming front gardens bordered by low stone walls connect the home to its neighborhood, while a secluded bluestone patio, shaded by mature oak and maple trees, creates a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush greenery. Generous basement and private attic storage add everyday practicality. Enjoy the best of Jamaica Plain, with nearby parks, neighborhood cafés, restaurants, and public transportation. A remarkable opportunity to enjoy an architect-designed home with two additional income-producing residences, where craftsmanship, nature, and community come together.
