About this property
Spacious Single Family House - Great Privacy, 19' train ride to Back Bay Station
- Entire ~2610 sq feet single family house in the safest Brook Farm Boston neighborhood for you and your family to enjoy!
The house is in the historical Brook Farm neighborhood of West Roxbury, which is the safest and mostly single family neighborhood of Boston. This house especially has a great suburb feeling with excellent privacy.
Multiple zone baseboard heating and Mitsubishi mini split cooling/heating. Walkout base has baseboard heating and Mideau (very quite) window AC.
Front yard lawn and private drive way (space for two medium size cars). Free off-street parking.
Backyard with lush lawn and fence; three separate good sized decks of size about 12x12 feet, 12 x 8, and 12 x 20.
It is only ~0.5 mile / ~10 minutes walk to the West Roxbury station, where the Needham line train takes you to downtown Ruggles station/Northeastern University in just ~15 minutes/5 stops, Back Bay/Prudential Center in ~20 minutes/6 stops, and south station in ~24 minutes/7 stops.
There are also two bus stops in nearby street, just around the corners (But no bus passing the property street.)
Also easy driving into downtown Boston in 20 to 30 minutes, and especially scenic drive (along Jamaica pond and Jamaica way) to Longwood medical area.
