About this home
An exceptional location in the heart of Back Bay sets the stage for this charming studio, where classic brownstone character meets modern updates. Set within a traditional Back Bay brownstone, the home features soaring 12-foot ceilings, rich ebony wood floors and oversized south-facing windows that fill the space with natural light. Period details and a beautiful marble fireplace add architectural character and capture the timeless appeal of this historic neighborhood. The recently renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher and modern finishes, complemented by an updated bathroom. The spacious and flexible layout offers plenty of room to create distinct living, sleeping and work-from-home areas, while a generously sized walk-in closet provides exceptional storage. Ideally situated just blocks from the Public Garden, Beacon Hill, Newbury Street and the Esplanade, with restaurants, shops and the Green Line all close by. From morning walks along the Charles to afternoons on Newbury Street and easy access throughout the city, this inviting home offers the perfect combination of character, convenience and quintessential city living.
