340 Marlborough St

This is a large, renovated single-family home with strong historic character and modern luxury finishes. The layout appears well suited for entertaining, with formal rooms, a chef’s kitchen, outdoor patio space, and a full-floor primary suite. Buyers should verify several listing details, especially parking, neighborhood labeling, and the lot-size data. Overall, it presents as a high-end urban home with rare private outdoor space, but due diligence is important given the age and data inconsistencies.

PROS
- Renovated home that retains classic Back Bay-style details, including an original staircase and stained-glass skylight.
- Large 5-bedroom layout with 3 full baths and 2 half baths, offering flexibility for guests or home offices.
- Full-floor primary suite with fireplace, spa-style bath, soaking tub, and custom walk-through closet.
- Private outdoor amenities include a landscaped garden, enclosed patio, fenced yard, hot tub, and storage shed.
- Description states direct access to two huge side-by-side parking spaces, a notable advantage if confirmed.

CONS
- Built in 1877, so buyers should closely inspect structure, systems, roof, masonry, and any historic-property maintenance needs.
- Listing shows 0 garage spaces and parking field is null, while the description claims two side-by-side parking spaces; parking rights should be verified.
- Neighborhood data is inconsistent: listing neighborhood says Fenway, while description and tags reference Back Bay.
- Lot-size data appears inconsistent, with “2464.0” also shown as acres; confirm actual land area and records.
- Multi-level layout with bedrooms on upper floors may not suit buyers seeking easy single-level living.
