About this home

Experience the pinnacle of luxury on Chestnut Street, one of Beacon Hill’s most coveted addresses. This grand Federal-style brownstone boasts a rare wide footprint of over 9,000+ sq. ft. of impeccably renovated living space. The heart of the home is a breathtaking double-height living space with frameless glass railings and and soaring windows offer a dramatic gallery-like feel while overlooking the courtyard. Pristine white oak floors lead to a chef’s kitchen featuring a Lacanche range, full-height marble backsplashes, and a discreet scullery. The full-floor primary suite is a private sanctuary with dual bathrooms, dressing rooms, and a fluted marble fireplace. Unique for the city, the home offers a vertical retreat of three terraced decks, culminating in a rooftop with panoramic views. Below, a lush garden courtyard with a gas fireplace provides four-season relaxation. Complete with rare garage parking and steps from Charles Street’s historic charm.
