About This Home
Tucked behind a classic Beacon Hill façade, this exceptional residence reveals one of the neighborhood’s most coveted private gardens, over 1,750 square feet of impeccably landscaped exclusive outdoor space designed for refined entertaining and tranquil retreat. Once home to the Appalachian Mountain Club for nearly a century, the property was thoughtfully restored in 2019, returning it to its residential origins with a comprehensive renovation featuring premium appliances, bespoke finishes, and timeless architectural detail. The interiors are defined by soaring ceilings, intricate moldings and custom craftsmanship, while the open main level flows seamlessly to the expansive garden, offering a rare indoor–outdoor lifestyle in the heart of the city. Spanning two gracious levels, the home is offered fully furnished, with all furnishings included in the sale price. Ideally located just moments from the State House and Boston Common, this iconic Beacon Hill home is a truly rare offering!
