About this home
HUGE PRICE REDUCTION!! A truly spectacular 3bed+study/2bath home at “The Imperial." Designed by Samuel D. Kelly (circa 1899), this 13 unit, elevator building is a superbly maintained showpiece located in the heart of Back Bay. This 3rd floor residence boasts almost 2000 sq ft all on one floor! A versatile 3bed+study floor plan featuring hardwood floors, custom crown moldings, period detail, chair rails & wainscoting, 2 original fireplaces, and that's just the beginning. The expansive chef's kitchen was meticulously renovated, featuring gas range w/ hood, stainless steel appliances, and full pantry. With three exposures, there is no shortage of natural light. Watch the seasons change from your oversized bow front windows overlooking the Comm Ave Mall. Newbury Street’s boutique shopping & fine dining, The Esplanade, Symphony Hall, The Boston Common, and MIT are all within a few blocks. Parking is available for rent or for purchase at the Somerset Garage. Welcome home!
