About This Home

As of December 2023

BACK BAY CHARACTER & MODERN COMFORT -- Welcome to The Carlyle. Tree-lined Commonwealth Avenue has framed Back Bay life for well over a century, and this fifth-floor one-bedroom carries that legacy forward. A bay-windowed living room looks out over the manicured Comm Ave Mall, anchored by a decorative fireplace and floor-to-ceiling built-ins. Ceilings soar to 9.5ft in height, and hardwood floors run throughout. The bedroom holds a king bed effortlessly, complemented by a generous closet and a storage loft. The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances and a disposal, a modern touch within a classic frame. This elevator building offers a common roof deck, laundry, and bike storage. Heat and hot water are included in the rent. Close to Newbury Street's shops and restaurants, Copley Square, Symphony Hall, and the Hynes Convention Center Green Line stop, with Boston University and the Charles River Esplanade nearby as well.
