This traditional Back Bay townhouse is a quintessential architectural model of Boston residential living within a highly desirable and convenient city location between Berkeley and Clarendon Sts. Experienced city buyers will immediately recognize this fantastic opportunity to purchase brand new Boston construction and potential new urban homeowners will quickly learn this is a rare prospect after a little market research.

This bi-floor duplex offers a gracious formal entryway from legendary Commonwealth Ave. into the foyer level of this elegant home. An open landing on the second story immediately displays the great use of space within the 3,665 square foot floor plan, beginning with an casual sitting area. The expanded front-facing gas fireplaced living room is enhanced with a reclaimed floor-to-ceiling wooden mirrored mantle, a soaring tray ceiling, hardwood floors and a bay window offering sensational views over the Commonwealth Ave. Mall. The soothing neutral-based adjacent formal dining room boasts stained quarter-sawn white oak flooring, wood casing and chair rail and a painted crown molding ceiling. The adjacent eat-in kitchen has been left unfinished so a blank canvas is available to customize this pivotal and well-used space.

This unit has three-plus bedrooms, including a commanding and luxurious spa-like master suite with a walk-in closet and dressing room, and a full private bath with floor-to-ceiling Carrera marble, a large walk-in shower with seamless glass, a separate soaking tub, dual marble sinks, water closet and radiant-heated floors. There are also two additional bedrooms on this floor, one a private suite with a private full bath and the third with its own full bath and a large laundry room with Corian surfaces and open shelving.

This unit also offers many bonus features, such as economical four-zone heating and central air conditioning, garage parking for one car and outdoor parking for one car, a home security system and electronic door with video capabilities. Pet owners are also welcome to this building with two pets allowed per unit unless written permission by trustee and owned units do have rental possibilities.
