About this home

After finishing dinner at one of Boston’s best restaurants and enjoying a walk in the Public Garden, stroll down the tree-lined Commonwealth Mall and into your stunning top-floor home with amazing views of the Back Bay and Cambridge. Then cozy up with a good book in front of one of your several fireplaces. Entertain and live day-to-day life with ease in the spaciousness this sunfilled three bedroom, three bath, two study home grants you. But we all know that the kitchen is the heart of the home and you’ll love to cook (or enjoy the amazing local take-out options) in your eat-in kitchen. A rare New York-style corner home where you can leave your worries at the door because this professionally-managed building offers tons of storage, an elevator, and a superintendent on site to take care of any hassles or repairs that come your way. The only thing you have to worry about is getting home in time to enjoy the sunset.
