If you've been searching for a condo for sale in Jamaica Plain with genuine history and character, 33-35 Green Street #3 is unlike anything else on the market. This is the iconic red house — where the first widely-produced baseball was designed and patented before being sold to Spalding. Set back from the road and surrounded by trees, this two-level, top-floor home pairs that rare story with an unbeatable location: steps to Centre Street, the Green Street Orange Line and Jamaica Pond.

A Home Rich in Period Detail

A front yard, farmer's porch and foyer greet you, and the main level opens to hardwood floors, ornate woodwork, ceiling medallions, crown moldings and two decorative fireplaces — the kind of craftsmanship you simply can't reproduce. Sip morning coffee on the private deck off the living room, overlooking the shared backyard, or settle into the warm, inviting atmosphere of the spacious kitchen and dining room.

A Kitchen Built for Gathering

The spacious kitchen is finished with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a gas stove and a peninsula, with a dining area alongside — a natural gathering spot that flows to the rest of the main level. This floor also holds a large bedroom, a designated office and a full bath.

A Sprawling Primary Suite on Top

Upstairs, the entire upper level is given to a sprawling primary suite crowned by beamed cathedral ceilings and skylights, with a walk-in closet, an oversized soaking tub and a cozy reading area — a private retreat at the top of the house.
