$900K Jamaica Plain Wow House: 'Has Good Bones'

JAMAICA PLAIN, MA — Generally when the realtor doesn't show photos of the interior of a home on the market it translates to makeover city. The realtor calls this one a "diamond in the rough." Otherwise, the good news about this spot is that it's recently had all new roofing installed and the heating system is only six years old. Take a look at the pretty outside pictures of this five bedroom on Alveston Street.
