The best room in this Jamaica Plain townhouse for sale isn't counted in the square footage. Climb the open staircase out of the primary bedroom and you land in a 375 sq ft loft — skylit, lined with custom built-ins, with a window seat and a wet bar. That's on top of the 1,313 sq ft below it, and it's the kind of space that becomes whatever you need: home office, gym or yoga room, media room, flex guest space.

The Loft Above the Bedroom

The primary bedroom already makes an impression on its own — dramatic vaulted ceilings, a skylight, hardwood floors and a ceiling fan. Then the staircase in the corner opens the room upward into the loft: 21 by 15 feet, wall-to-wall carpet, copious built-ins and that wet bar tucked in among them.

Down on the second floor, the guest bedroom is a matching 13x13 with double closets and its own private balcony, alongside a full tiled bath with tub and shower.

Two-Car Garage Parking — in JP

Parking like this is genuinely scarce here. The unit has a 2-car attached garage directly beneath it (two tandem spaces, with a garage door opener) plus its own garage entrance, so you come and go without touching the street. Laundry lives down there too, along with room for storage and bikes. The association also keeps three designated guest parking spaces on the street.

Hardwood, Fireplace & a Built-In Coffee Station

The first floor runs open across hardwood floors, from an 18x12 living room with a wood-burning fireplace and recessed lighting through the dining area to the kitchen. The kitchen has newer stainless appliances, a gas stove, a peninsula, custom built-in cabinets and a built-in pantry / coffee station, with an elegant breakfast nook under a bay window and a shared deck off the back. A half bath sits on this level; central air and gas forced-air heat run throughout.

A direct-access townhouse with two garage spaces and a skylit loft — steps from Centre Street.

The Details

A Private Way off Centre Street

The address is a private way off Centre Street, between Pond Street and Goodrich Road, which puts the restaurants, cafes and shops of JP's main stretch within literal steps — and Parley Vale Preserve, with its woodland path, right alongside you:

• 0.3 miles to Jamaica Pond for the loop, the boathouse and the park
• 0.6 miles to Green Street on the Orange Line
• 5 minutes to Whole Foods, plus Centre Street dining, cafes and shops
• Parley Vale Preserve adjacent — the tranquility of the Preserve is part of the package
• A tight-knit association with regular get-togethers, a central patio and garden areas

The unit is vacant and ready for an ASAP close. You can see every photo, the floor plan and the full details on the 11 Parley Ave listing site.
