Moving to condo in Boston, USA after June 2026

We are moving to a gated condominium in Boston and will be available for exchanges after June 2026. After many years in a large suburban house, we are moving closer to the city, but still in a very tranquil, quiet location.

You can google "Cabot Estate" to see different photos of this beautiful association.

The photos show the condo as it is at present, and we are doing some renovations. Therefore, I cannot show it with furniture at the moment. I will be adding additional photos in the next week.

It is a serene, penthouse condo in an elevator building. The building is one of two mid-rise buildings at Cabot Estate. The Cabot community is ideally located directly across from Jamaica Pond and the Emerald Necklace, the parks designed by Olmstead of Central Park fame. It is a gated community with 23 landscaped acres, an outdoor pool, tennis courts, and in The Castle there is a library and a gym. All of these are available to home exchangers.
You would be one mile from Brookline Village, where there are shops and restaurants and you can get the Green Line trolley in all directions. In twenty minutes you can walk to a bus that takes you to various parts of the city. The walks are very pleasant along the park.

The condo itself will be able to accommodate 6 people in this way:
Master bedroom with queen bed and en suite bathroom
Second bedroom with queen bed and a full bathroom across the hall
Sleep sofa in the loft. On the loft level you will also find the third bathroom, very large, all done in black marble, with jetted tub.
There is a large, tranquil living/dining room, a large kitchen, a balcony with lovely views.

Please note that we have an indoor cat! Milo was a rescue cat that was declawed on all four feet and abandoned in south Texas. He is very shy at first, but if you make a little effort to befriend him, he will be extremely affectionate. He needs to have typical care for an indoor kitty.

Photos will be updated in the spring, but we are ready to make plans for fall of 2026.

Our Neighbourhood

Nearest Airport: Boston Logan -

Our condominium is on the top floor of an elevator building, with tranquil views of Jamaica Pond and the surrounding parkland, yet it is close to Brookline Village and easy transport into the city of Boston. A serene and unique oasis within the city.

Directly across from the condo you will find trails and parkland stretching for miles. Walk a mile to Brookline Village with its many restaurants and shops. Walk a mile in another direction to the commercial center of Jamaica Plain, where you will find a huge variety of ethnic restaurants.
