292 Pond

This appears to be a well-updated older single-family home with strong character, modernized kitchen and baths, and useful flexibility on the main level. The combination of period detail, central AC, newer boiler, and substantial outdoor space should appeal to buyers wanting charm without taking on obvious immediate cosmetic projects. Its location is positioned for access to Longwood Medical, JP Center, Jamaica Pond, Arnold Arboretum, shops, MBTA, and private schools. Buyers should still verify parking, lot size, and the condition of older-home systems before relying on the listing description.

PROS
- Updated eat-in kitchen with stainless appliances, silestone counters, shaker cabinetry, and herringbone tile backsplash.
- New or updated baths, including a primary suite bath and main bath.
- Main-level bedroom offers flexibility for office, guest, or play space.
- Outdoor features include a level backyard, stone patio, gardens, mature trees, fenced yard, sprinkler system, and professional landscaping.
- Central AC, 2022 boiler, copper gutters, basement storage, and included laundry appliances add practical value.

CONS
- Garage spaces are listed as 0, while the description claims private parking for 4; parking should be verified.
- Lot size data appears inconsistent: “lot_size_acres” is shown as 10,760.0, while “lot_size” is also 10,760.0, likely requiring confirmation.
- Built in 1935, so buyers should closely inspect roof, masonry, slate, plumbing, electrical, insulation, and basement conditions despite updates.
