About owner/property manager
Hello! I'm a Texas native that hasn't lost my "ya'll" even though I've lived in Boston for over 30 years. I spend most of my time outdoors - enjoying my garden, walking in nearby nature preserves, going on long, long bike rides, and escaping to the beach. I actually love winter because I ski in the parks near my house every day when there's snow on the ground. It's a great way to exercise my dog, Lulu. I'm a political liberal, inveterate traveler and amateur classical musician though I love music of all sorts.
owner/property manager purchased this House in 1992
Why owner/property manager chose Jamaica Plain
I live in the popular neighborhood of Jamaica Plain. People want to live and visit Jamaica Plain because it has a hip vibe, is close to downtown, and has the most parks in the entire metropolitan area. My home is on a short two block street with primarily row houses. It's at the foot of Sumner Hill which is filled with Victorian Mansions. It's fun to stroll around and imagine upper class life in the late 1800's. There is also a house dating from the 1700's on the main drag - Center Street. That's where the action is and it's only a 5 minute walk from my house. The Arnold Arboretum and Franklin Park total over 500 acres of open space and are less than a 10 minute walk. They are part of the Emerald .Necklace Greenway which was designed by Olmstead - who also designed Central Park. The wonderful lake, Jamaica Pond, is also nearby. Most of my guests love to take a walk or run in the Arboretum.
What makes this House unique
In a city of such density, it's hard to find a true home that's available for short-term rentals. Moreover, it is set on a quarter acre of land so you have plenty of room to spread out. Most people like to sit on the deck and enjoy the weather while grilling dinner. However, although you may be tempted to throw a party while you're here, gatherings are not permitted. This is out of respect for my neighbors. Thanks for your understanding about this!
