    8 Greenough Ave., Jamaica Plain – $3,400,000, 24,801 sq ft, 44 bed/1 half, 5 days on market.

    152 Adams St., Milton – $3,490,000, 30,504 sq ft, 56 bed/1 half, 8 days on market.

    The Jamaica Plain home, a 1900s Victorian, boasts a mansard roof, double parlor, and detailed millwork. Kevin Cradock Builders restored it, preserving its character while adding a marble‑clad kitchen that opens onto a shaded patio.

    Milton’s 1855 house sits on 1.38 acres of riverfront land, offering high ceilings, multiple fireplaces, large picture windows, and five bedrooms. Renovated in 2017, it delivers spacious living away from the city bustle.

    Both were priced similarly, yet the Jamaica Plain property sold faster, underscoring continued demand for urban living.
