Property Description

FIVE FLOORS OF FABULOUS POTENTIAL IN PRESTIGE COMMONWEALTH AVE BOSTON LOCATION. One-of-a-kind opportunity to bring back the glory of this extra-wide, 12,500+ SF sunny-side Commonwealth Ave sleeping beauty. Overlooking the magnolias and the Comm Ave Mall. It's a dream come true for the discriminating owner or developer. Imagine a unique private family home or take advantage of six levels to create gorgeous, spacious condominiums topped by a duplex penthouse extraordinaire with roof deck and views all the way to Kenmore Square. Built in 1878 and home to various Boston Brahmins for many years before becoming student housing, the building has not been available for sale for more than 55 years. It is now offered as one of the last brownstones on Commonwealth Ave that still offers single family potential. With ample parking, a prestige Back Bay location, and carte blanche to create your own masterpiece, this is a rare and remarkable offering.
