About this home
Located in the heart of Back Bay between Newbury and Commonwealth! An investment opportunity indeed, the building houses three excellent quality apartments - One ground level one-bedroom, one parlor level one-bedroom, and a three-bedroom, two-bath penthouse duplex on the upper floors - each with their own washer/dryer setup. There is an opportunity to be creative with the space, with the possibility of parlor level retail, a flagship single family home, or condos. Tall ceiling heights and beautiful Victorian Era details have been preserved throughout, including Zebra hardwood floors, original fireplaces and moldings, and bow-front façade with mansard roof and copper trim. To top it off, a full parking space behind the building. All units leased through 8/31/26. Showings will be conducted by appointment only.
