O.K., "gardener's delight" might be cliché, but this Jamaica Plain condo at 72 Robinwood Avenue fits the ourdoors-y bill, granting all the space you would need to plant pansies, grow begonias, and tend to tomatoes on the vine. The 1,040-square-foot, 2-BR, 1.5-BA, set in a historic 1880 home in this leafiest of neighborhoods, is listed at $448,000, and has new appliances in the kitchen, classic bow windows and a picturesque façade. Then, out back, you'll find an oversized deck overlooking both common and private garden space, all fenced in and shaded by mature trees. When you inevitably break your rake–or you've been on your hands and knees gardening all afternoon and need a break yourself–you'll be thankful for the home's proximity to all of Centre Street's shops and watering holes. — Rachel Lebeaux
