5 BED | 3.5 BATH | 3,894 SF | $2,695,000

Tucked away in Jamaica Plain’s Sumner Hill Historic District, 13 Bishop Street is the perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern comfort. From the moment you enter through the cheerful yellow front door, you’re welcomed into a space that feels both warm and sophisticated—where historic charm meets thoughtful, high-end updates.

With four bedrooms, three baths, and a dedicated office, this home offers a flexible layout designed to adapt to life’s many stages. Sunlight pours through the Marvin windows, highlighting the home’s intricate millwork, custom built-ins, and rich hardwood floors. The main living space is an effortless mix of old and new, with gas fireplaces adding a cozy touch and radiant heated floors on the first two levels keeping things comfortable underfoot.

Designed for both gatherings and quiet moments, the flow of this home makes everyday living a pleasure. The sun-drenched living room and flexible parlor room, with its elegant bay windows and gas fireplace, is the perfect spot for entertaining, whether it’s lively gatherings or relaxed evenings by the fire. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite feels like its own private retreat, featuring a walk-in closet and two flexible rooms—ideal for a sitting area, home office, or even a private workout space. With a mini-duct hydro air system and mini-duct air conditioning throughout, every season is effortlessly comfortable.

The finished lower level is a true gem—not just an extension of the home, but a fully integrated living space with full-sized windows, polished concrete floors, and a walkout to the backyard. A spacious, open layout offers endless possibilities—a family room for movie nights, a home gym, a creative studio, or even a music or hobby room. Custom built-ins add storage and function, while a full bath and integrated audio make it a versatile retreat for guests or everyday use.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped backyard is an urban oasis, complete with a patio and a separate deck for summer dinners, an irrigation system, and carefully crafted stone walls that enhance the home’s curb appeal. Recent updates—including a 2017 roof, 2018 exterior paint, and a repointed chimney—mean this home is as well-maintained as it is beautiful.

And the location? Ideal. Just around the corner from Centre Street’s beloved shops and restaurants, close to the Green Street T station, and surrounded by the picturesque architecture and leafy streets of Sumner Hill—this is Jamaica Plain living at its very best.
