Featured in The Wall Street Journal's Mansion section, this nearly 10,000 SF Back Bay townhouse blends contemporary design with classical character across five full floors. With seven bedrooms, six full baths, and two half baths, it offers a thoughtful layout for everyday family life and entertaining. Its unusually wide footprint allows for generous rooms, while light from three sides gives the home an airy feel. A marble foyer leads to a chef's kitchen, sunlit family room, dining room, and expansive living room, where soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and fireplaces bring warmth and scale. The second floor is anchored by a primary suite with a fireplace, dual dressing rooms, and a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub and glass rain shower. An office or nursery and a dedicated laundry room add flexibility and convenience. The third floor features four oversized bedrooms and two full baths, giving children or guests a space of their own. On the top floor, a bright living or game room offers space for movie nights, entertaining, or a quiet evening in. This level also includes a kitchen, full bath, and roof access with potential for a private roof deck. The garden level adds flexibility and function, with a home gym, a two-bedroom, two-bath suite with its own kitchen for extended family or guests, an office with a fireplace, laundry, a private patio, and abundant storage. A large elevator serves every level, and four direct parking spaces complete the home. With room to gather, retreat, and grow, this home offers a rare kind of townhouse living in the heart of Back Bay.

Back Bay

Back Bay is one of Boston's most iconic and prestigious neighborhoods, celebrated for its beautifully preserved 19th-century Victorian brownstones and Parisian-inspired grid layout. Lined with scenic, tree-filled avenues, the community stretches elegantly from the tranquil pathways of the Public Garden to the vibrant waterfront steps of the Charles River Esplanade. Residents enjoy an unmatched cosmopolitan lifestyle featuring world-class luxury shopping along Newbury Street, upscale dining choices on Boylston Street, and structural historic landmarks like the Boston Public Library.

The local luxury real estate landscape consists predominantly of grand multi-level row houses, boutique brownstone condo conversions, and exclusive top-tier penthouse developments boasting panoramic skyline views. With a premium market profile reflecting a median listing price near $1.9 million, values are heavily driven by the historic district preservation guidelines and a highly constrained supply of new land. The area continues to attract prominent global buyers and families who value architectural scarcity, exceptional pedestrian layout, and proximity to excellent private and public institutional frameworks.

Discerning buyers interested in high-end properties frequently cross-reference this historic sector against the sprawling estate selections found in our Cambridge neighborhood guide or browse premium listings via our Brookline real estate guide. You can explore the entire localized marketplace directly by visiting our master Boston neighborhoods directory. Maggie Gold Seelig and the elite advisors at MGS Group Real Estate deliver unparalleled boutique guidance and exceptional market data to successfully guide your next luxury transaction.

Back Bay is famous for its grid-lined avenues, Victorian brownstone architecture, and world-class shopping along Newbury Street and Boylston Street. Stretching along the Charles River Esplanade from the Public Garden to Kenmore Square, the neighborhood offers a sophisticated urban lifestyle with immediate access to waterfront walking trails, outdoor cafes, and cultural destinations. Residential options include grand brownstone floor-through condominiums, full-service luxury high-rise residences along Huntington Avenue, and classic multi-story single-family homes. Prices span from $1 million for well-appointed condominium residences to over $20 million for penthouse high-rises or full single-family brownstones. Steady buyer demand for homes for sale in Back Bay stems from its central geographic position, architectural significance, and proximity to top medical and financial centers. Reach out to MGS Group Real Estate to explore available Back Bay properties.
