76 Elm St

A converted historic school building now configured as a low-rise condominium complex, this single-story portion of the larger property occupies a prominent hilltop in Jamaica Plain’s Sumner Hill. Constructed in 1926 and adapted to residential use, the development preserves period character—high ceilings, original moldings and oversized windows—while integrating contemporary systems such as central air, modern kitchens, and updated baths. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom duplex-style layouts with open living/dining plans, lofted or cathedral ceiling volumes, bamboo or engineered wood floors, and practical built-ins for storage and home office space. Common areas include an elevator, on-site laundry, a residents’ meeting room, bike storage, and professionally landscaped grounds with patios and garden views; limited off-street parking is provided on a first-come basis. The property has elevator access and is handicap-accessible in parts, with building-managed services and a condominium association that handles exterior maintenance and grounds. Located steps from Green Street T and the Southwest Corridor Park, the building blends historic architecture with neighborhood convenience—shops, cafés, Jamaica Pond and walking/jogging paths are all within easy reach.
