About this home
Prime Marlborough Street location in the heart of Back Bay, this generously proportioned 1BD/1BA apartment rests within the historic former residence of John Endicott Peabody, circa 1882. Blending classic architectural character with modern comforts, this rental offers a unique and spacious layout in one of Boston’s most coveted neighborhoods. An expansive entry foyer immediately creates a versatile space, ideal for a home office or studio. The oversized living room provides flexibility for both comfortable seating and a dining area, complemented by a decorative fireplace and mantel, framed by its original brick surround. Hardwood floors, built-in storage and thoughtful proportions add to the apartment’s distinctive character. The long galley-style kitchen features stainless appliances, new countertops and additional pantry storage. The bedroom offers a separate alcove with two extra-deep closets, and the adjacent bathroom presents a classic pedestal sink. Additional features include portable A/C units and on-site laundry facilities. HEAT & HOT WATER INCLUDED! Situated in a professionally managed building and perfectly nestled near the parks of Commonwealth Mall & Boston Common, and only two blocks from Newbury Street’s shops, restaurants and cafés, with a nearby Star Market for everyday convenience. Excellent commuting options via Green & Orange Line T-Stations, the Commuter Rail and Storrow Drive & MA Pike on/off ramps. Available from late-August. Sorry, no pets.
