| At the end of the 19th century, the Bowditch families began the first divisions of their massive land holdings on Moss Hill in Jamaica Plain. On November 3, 1909, Dr. Mark Richardson applied for a permit to build on a substantial subdivision of that land where he would be the first of only 4 owners of a splendid Colonial Revival home. Moss Hill Road is among the earliest of the graciously winding roads meandering across what were once the fruit orchards growing on the Jamaica Hills. 116 Moss Hill Road has a favored setting – near the crest, set back and nestled in the still-verdant hillside. With the air of a country estate, 116 Moss Hill Road unveils her elegant structure at first glance – a stunning masonry home with noble height, a broad terrace running nearly the length of the house. Abundant multi-light windows on every floor overlook the expansive and lush walled grounds, offering stories of life in a different era. The hidden side entrance wanders down a path through the greenery, beckoning as if into a secret garden.
Enter the grand Foyer and the journey into the past meets the present. A spectacular artisan-crafted staircase with fanciful curves and tiger oak treads, sweeps up and around the broad landings and is the crown jewel of this home. From this ample core, the rooms unfurl in a gracious sweep: 11 Rooms in all with fireplaces, wood floors and rich period detail. The Living Room extends from the front to the back of the house and hosts a deep window seat inviting a long read on a leisurely afternoon. A large wood-burning fireplace is the heart of this room, inspiring shared stories and family life by the dancing flames. The Dining Room is splendid and spacious with access to the veranda, conjuring holidays, spectacular meals and memorable entertaining. The lovely, ample eat-in Kitchen with gas fireplace, tile floors, pickled pine cabinetry and sitting area makes everyday meals and casual relaxing de rigeur here. The cozy Library and half Bath lend grace and ease to the living level. The second and third levels boast a Study, a terrace and sleeping quarters comprising 3 suites of 4+ Bedrooms with fireplaces including a luxurious Master with full dressing room, vanity, a sitting room and new marble en suite Bath. The land around this estate rolls and surrounds it in a natural world carpeted with green grass, gardens, mature shrubs and trees for an abundance of outdoor pleasures. With new high-end heating and cooling, this treasured residence and the 2-car garage have been fully restored and meticulously maintained by the present owners – this is a dwelling for a lifetime! |
