About this home

Located on a picturesque tree-lined street on the Flat of the Hill, this 1914 townhouse spans 5,194 square feet, offering four bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms and two private outdoor spaces. The main floor opens with a gracious foyer leading to an elegant dining room. One level below, the garden floor unfolds around a generous kitchen, dining area, and family room, all opening directly to a private brick patio-a rare, quiet outdoor retreat in the heart of the city. Above the main floor, the house reveals one of its most remarkable spaces: a double-height great room (living room/library), with an open balcony on the level above overlooking the room. The scale is extraordinary, creating a centerpiece for both quiet afternoons and elegant entertaining. The next floor holds two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The top floor is anchored by the primary suite, with a walk-in closet and elegant bath, and an additional bedroom at the opposite end of the hall. A private roof deck crowns the residence with unobstructed 360-degree views across Boston. Not to be missed!

AI comment

This Beacon Hill townhouse offers a rare combination of historic character, substantial interior volume, and multiple private outdoor spaces. The double-height great room and roof deck with 360-degree views are standout features that distinguish it from typical city residences. The layout appears well-suited for entertaining, with formal and informal living areas across multiple levels. Buyers should weigh the appeal of the scale and location against the lack of garage parking, the age of the structure, and verification of listing details.

- Two private outdoor spaces, including an enclosed brick patio off the garden-level living areas.
