Description
Pondside is a Colonial-Revival mansion at 54 Burroughs Street in Jamaica Plain that's been converted into four luxurious condominiums, three in the mansion and the fourth in the spacious carriage house. The mansion blends the elegance of the 19th century with updated, modern amenities. The entrance features a front porch with columns and sidelights of leaded glass. You'll enter a tiled foyer that features wainscoting and crown molding. Another door with leaded glass leads to the entryway that the residents share. The floor is created of oak parquet, and the hall features an elegant staircase. At each of the landings are diamond-paned windows. The floor plans for the condos are similar, but Unit 1 has a full bath on the garden level and more living space that could be used as a study or guest room.
Unit 1 is listed at $2,195,000. The condo features four bedrooms and three and a half baths in 3,756 square feet of space. The foyer leads to a massive living room. The huge fireplace has a wood mantel and the original surround created of brick. The hearth is made of onyx, and the room features an oak floor and crown molding.
Doors on either side of the fireplace lead to a glassed-in, winter sunroom. In the study, windows set into alcoves are on each side of the massive fireplace. The kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances, a Ceasestone kitchen island, a pantry and private, half bath. The master bedroom faces Jamaica Pond, has a fireplace and master bath. Two more bedrooms are on the same level, and a staircase leads to the fourth bedroom and laundry room.
The second unit and the penthouse feature three bedrooms and two and a half baths. The fourth condo in the carriage house has a living room/dining room with a fireplace that opens into both rooms. The gourmet kitchen features an entire wall of cabinets, a center, breakfast island, a powder room and a wet bar. The family room heated by a gas fireplace, bedrooms including the master suite, full bath, and laundry room are on the second floor. The second floor features a massive, stone terrace. The lower level is accessed by an elevator that opens into the main lobby or by an interior stairway. This level can be used for storage but would make a great family or media room.
