Built in 1874 by renowned architects
Peabody and Stearns, and lovingly
maintained by the same family since
1944, this handsome five-story brick and
brownstone building, located in the heart
of the Back Bay, is close to the Boston
Public Garden, Charles River Esplanade,
Newbury Street shops, restaurants and
so much more. This American Academic
style home with beautiful French-
influenced interiors is currently
configured as a five unit owner-occupied
building consisting of a three bedroom
owner's duplex; a two bedroom one bath
floor-through unit with a large partially
covered deck; a three bedroom one and
a half bath floor-through; a one
bedroom rear triplex; a front facing
studio and an office in the rear on the
garden level; parking and a
courtyard/garden in the back. The
owner's duplex features 12-foot ceilings,
stately fireplaces, and a grand living
room with French "Fêtes de Louis XIII"
hand-blocked wallpaper manufactured
by Clerc & Margueridon, Paris. This 25-
foot wide building has ten bedrooms, six
full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and
nine fireplaces. A passenger elevator
services all five floors. Future
configuration options include returning to
a single family with multiple parking
spaces and au pair suite or rental
apartment in the back. This building is
truly unique and offers a rare
opportunity for the new owner to restore,
update and create their dream home.
