Hidden Sanctuary: A Masterful 2021 Gut-Renovated Architectural Icon in JP

Secluded at the very end of a peaceful, closed-end Jamaica Plain street, 1 Lennoco Road stands as a striking architectural masterpiece that effortlessly fuses century-old historic charm with a massive, high-tech 2021 gut renovation and addition.

This magnificent 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom single-family residence commands immediate attention with its soaring front gables, artisan Craftsman-style timber accents, and a breathtaking, sweeping cat-slide roofline that elegantly frames a whimsical garden archway.

Abutting an enchanting urban wild and a historic cemetery landscape, this private woodland oasis features entirely high-efficiency, nearly new systems. From its complete envelope of spray-foam insulation and robust fiber-cement siding to its 4-zone electric heat pump infrastructure, it is a future-proof luxury haven priced at $1,699,000.

1 Lennoco Road Architectural Exterior with Sweeping Roofline

The Main Level | Expansive Gathering Spaces

The interior spaces flow with effortless modern luxury. The bright main floor balances sophisticated formal entertaining environments with everyday comfort. A large 16' x 12' living room opens directly into a grand 21' x 13' dining room, establishing a dramatic sense of scale.

The culinary wing features a massive 18' x 13' gourmet kitchen equipped with clean induction cooking, premium finishes, and rich hardwood flooring throughout. Directly adjacent, a cozy 19' x 14' family room provides an intimate space for relaxation, lined with glass sliders that lead straight onto a flat, lush, grassy backyard patio area.

2021 Structural & Eco Upgrades

Executed flawlessly by an owner-builder, this all-electric residence features premium James Hardie fiber-cement siding, a brand-new roof structure, insulated architectural windows, tight spray-foam insulation, a 200-amp electrical panel, and a highly efficient 4-zone Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) system handling central heating and A/C.

The Sleeping Quarters | A Rare Four-Bedroom Second Floor

Unlike standard historic layouts that fragment sleeping quarters across multiple levels, this property boasts a rare and highly coveted layout that secures all four bedrooms together on the second level.

The primary retreat is an expansive 15' x 13' suite paired with a luxury four-piece spa-inspired bathroom, a sleek double-sink vanity, and dual walk-in closets. Three additional generous bedrooms (measuring 14' x 12', 14' x 9', and 13' x 9') sit on this floor, sharing access to beautiful secondary bathrooms and a dedicated, ultra-convenient upper-level laundry room.

The Lower Level | Flexible Flex Space & Underground Garage

The partially finished, lower garden level offers exceptional versatility. Homeowners can enter directly from the massive 2-car under-house garage bay—fully equipped with an integrated EV vehicle charger. A dedicated utility mudroom area keeps seasonal gear organized, and an adjacent third full bathroom serves the level perfectly.

This level is completed by highly flexible bonus and exercise rooms (14' x 12' and 13' x 9'). It forms an ideal, isolated footprint for a quiet home office, private fitness center, or a welcoming guest suite.

The Location | Unmatched Tranquility Meets Forest Hills Hub

Tucked off the Arborway near the Western Roxbury Municipal Court corridor, this property delivers unparalleled privacy, framed by direct border access to an urban wild nature preserve. Yet despite this total quiet, you are connected to the very best of Jamaica Plain's urban assets:

  • Natural Wonderland: Walk or jog within minutes to the winding trails of the world-famous Arnold Arboretum or the sprawling spaces of Franklin Park.
  • Transit Connectivity: Quick, convenient commuting access straight into Downtown Boston via the nearby Forest Hills T-Station hub.
