The Roost

The Boston Roost
Welcome to The Roost in the artsy and fun neighborhood of Jamaica Plain, Boston!

The House:
Our 170 year-old, single-family home has three cozy, spotless bedrooms available.

Down a private drive in the greenest neighborhood of Boston, we’re just five minutes from JP’s city center and only blocks away from two of the areas largest parks, the Arnold Arboretum and Jamaica Pond. This friendly, diverse neighborhood hosts great restaurants welcoming pubs, shops, bakeries, and galleries. We also proudly boast the Sam Adams Brewery, which is open for tours and tastings Monday-Saturday. Fiore’s is a delicious vegetarian friendly coffee shop right around the corner that's a perfect work space. Hubspot is conveniently located right up the street for bike rentals.

Light breakfast of coffee, tea, juice, yogurt and pastries provided. Besides breakfast, there’s limited kitchen use. Cold or microwavable meals only please.

We’ll happily provide recommendations, advice, maps, and directions on the area.

The Neighborhood
I love that you can walk to buy anything you need in one direction (including great coffee) and if I head the other direction I can walk around Jamacia Pond designed by Olmstead or be in 365 acres of the Arnold Arboretum.
OR I can jump on a train and be downtown Boston.

Getting around
The house is a ten minute walk to the Orange Line, Green Street T station into Back Bay/Newbury Street and downtown. Only a three minute walk to the 39 bus to Longwood Medical area, Copley Square and museums. Near the Green Street T stop is the South West Corridor Bike Path you can ride straight into downtown. Street parking is always available or you can use our visitor parking slots if you wish. If you need a car, there are many nearby Zipcar locations.

Other Things to Note
First Thursday of the month is an Art Walk here in is short for Jamaica Plain!

The Brookline Roost
The Space

1614 Beacon Street is a traditional Boston brownstone townhouse (which has been painted light gray).The private entrance opens to wide, carpeted steps will lead you upstairs to the living area. It sleeps 10 comfortably throughout the two floors. There are three full bathrooms, a large skylight that floods the floors with light, a lovely deck with small fountain and furniture for use in the warm weather.
There is a full kitchen area, dining area, living room and several smaller rooms for private reading or computer time.

The Neighborhood

1614 Beacon Street is located in the very popular Washington Square neighborhood of Brookline. The Square is often referred to as “the Paris of Brookline”. It is a mix of private homes, apartments, condos, retail shops, friendly pubs and a wide variety of restaurants. A major grocery store and two ice cream shops are less than a 5 minute walk, directly up the street.

Getting around

1614 is across the street from the major trolley/subway system (called the "T") that directly accesses the heart of Boston and easily connects to Cambridge and nearby Harvard , MIT and the Charles river. Major Boston hospitals are also less than 15 minutes away…some in walking distance.
Driving is not recommended since public transportation is so readily available. There is one parking spot available upon special request.
