About This Home

As of November 2018

Capturing a picturesque view of the Charles River from right by the Esplanade, this exceptional 2-level residence sits on the sunny, south-facing side of Beacon Street in prestigious Back Bay. With 3 bedrooms and 4½ baths in 3,426± square feet, the spacious and versatile floor-plan features not only its own wonderful riverview deck and private garden courtyard, but also the rarity of 2 direct-access deeded garage parking spaces. Two impressive, elegantly molded parlors with lofty ceilings are both anchored by wood-burning fireplaces and brightened by large bay windows where tree-framed views overlook the river or Beacon Street. On the garden level, natural light streams in through airy window walls surrounding the courtyard. There is a living/dining/bedroom space with fireplace, plus two other bedrooms. With its own entry from the garage or street, this versatile level includes various options for an office area, as well as flexible space that can be configured to personal preferences.
