Set amidst Jamaica Plain’s grandest residences in the heart of this historic district, 16 Harris Ave is one of Sumner Hill’s earliest and distinctive homes. Rare to the neighborhood, this 1860’s attached 2-family is currently used as a single, offering a plethora of space and maximum flexibility. Best of all, it sits on an unusually large and splendid lot – ¼ acre of wide and deep grassy swaths framing a capacious deck with spectacular gardens & trees including a gorgeous ancient oak. This is land calling for leisure – summer entertaining: garden parties, BBQ’s, badminton and enough space for children to play wildly in the afternoon sun or to build a family of snow people in winter. Over 4000 sq ft boasts a rich nexus of rooms that beckon southwestern light and meander along the gracious, private grounds: 13+ rooms including 4+ Bedrooms and 3.5 Baths. On the first level the entry foyer greets and welcomes with its gracefully curving staircase and a hidden powder room. Through a wide archway, encounter the expansive Living Room graced with a bay window, a wood-burning stove and marble mantle with an easy flow into the Dining Room, and 2 petite connected light-filled sunrooms flank both rooms. An eat-in Kitchen with a small pass-through pantry awaits and just beyond, find two convenient Offices and a full Bath.
The second floor hosts the Master Bedroom – a suite enveloped in quiet and privacy on the mezzanine. The spa-grade Bath is a sparkling room with granite accents, glass, tile, double sinks and towel warmer. A few steps away find an abundant California walk-in closet/dressing room with laundry. Two additional generous rooms provide Bedrooms or optionally, a Family Room or large Den. A second Kitchen provides separate cooking for an au pair or the income unit. The 3rd floor includes 2 Rooms for additional sleeping quarters or rooms to expand the income unit, plus a full bath and large walk-in storage. Details throughout include French doors, plaster medallion, skylight, wainscoting, oak, walnut & wide pine floors. The kitchen offers direct access to a large, bright mud room leading to the deck and grounds.
These green and flowering spaces to relax, rest and dine offer a true oasis from city life, idyllic for gardeners and dining al fresco. A patina and old beauty prevail in this timeless home so easily adapted for multiple living styles and offering comfort and enjoyment. Other features include basement and 3-car parking. Nearby all Jamaica Plain’s pleasures, residents will love walking to the Pond and the neighborhood’s finest shops, restaurants and parks. |
