“…green, dipping, glistening, gorgeous……there we were, right in the midst of it, a long time silent and then speaking softly as it were enchantment indeed” - Frederick Law Olmsted
Situated on the rolling land of Jamaica Hills is one of the most beloved and romantic Jamaica Plain homes – the Wee Stone House, coveted as much for its setting as its distinctive stone and architecture. Inspiration for its style came from an extraordinary architect, Ernest Flagg, whose celebrated designs include the Singer Tower & Corcoran Gallery of Art. Drawing sunlight, the interior of the house gives a “wooded” feeling one finds in a country hideaway and offers a nexus of rooms that flows seamlessly from indoors to outdoors.
Designed to be acoustically pleasing for Sunday afternoon vocal and piano concerts, the Great Room is the heart of this home with rich natural wood in wide slats offering warmth and a silence rarely found in this city neighborhood. A woodburning fireplace lives at one end of this fantastical room and beadboard doors at the other end lead to a wet bar and the private stone patio, gardens and woods. At once a sanctuary and a gathering place, this room will pull you homeward and away from the world. The Kitchen is a granite jewel in tongue & groove cabinetry with stainless steel high-end appliances & fixtures, and delightfully provides access to the rear patio.
Sleeping quarters host 3 Bedrooms and 3 Baths, nestled under the eaves find a Master Bedroom Suite replete with skylights, built-ins and 2 custom stained glass windows reflecting the hemlock trees on the land at sunrise and at sunset. Additionally, two Offices lay out conveniently, one on the first and the other on the lower level that also provides a Finnish Helo sauna, storage and a potting room opening onto the splendid grounds.
The land is enchantment itself – a natural world, 15,000 sq ft tamed and populated with a multitude of trees, shrubs and flowers hand-chosen and lovingly cultivated to create a gardener’s paradise. Lush greenery surrounds stone paths, benches and a birdbath, perfect for peaceful walks and meditation. Moss Hill is ideally located nearby Jamaica Pond and Louders Lane sits across from the Arnold Arboretum, 265 acres of parkland. The quiet, hilly vistas, and proximity to the abundant green spaces and downtown Boston offer residents a rare urban refuge. The scent of the seasons, beauty and quiet – inhabitants of the Wee Stone House may seldom want to leave home. |
