About this home

Less than ½ block to Boston’s iconic Public Garden & located on one of Back Bay’s most beautiful streets, this duplex condo will take your breath away. The Parlor level’s open concept is the ultimate lay-out for entertaining on a grand scale. A domed ceiling welcomes guests into the gracious foyer. The LR’s soaring 12 ft ceilings and detailed crown molding harken back to the Gilded Age. Bay windows look out to a lush canopy of trees with working fireplaces  in both living room and dining area. The kitchen's huge solarium style windows flood the room with light. The office makes good use of space with built-in twin bed that can function as extra guest room. The garden level's primary bedroom features a private, fenced patio and en suite bathroom with soaking tub & shower. Down the hall is a spacious, very private guest BR with its own en suite bathroom. Direct access to deeded parking space. Central air, in-unit laundry and lots of extra storage.
