Set on the sunny side of the coveted second block of Commonwealth Avenue, this 3,109 SF residence offers single-level living with direct elevator access and sweeping views over the Comm Ave Mall. Soaring ceilings, elegant moldings, oversized windows, and custom built-ins showcase the home's rich architectural detail, beautifully preserved throughout. The flexible floor plan includes two bedrooms plus a den that doubles as an office, family room, or third bedroom. The primary suite features two full bathrooms — one with a concealed dressing room — along with abundant closet space and custom built-ins. Two private balconies, one deeded garage space and one deeded outdoor parking round out this rare offering. Moments from the Public Garden, Newbury Street, and the Charles River Esplanade, this is a rare opportunity to own a floor-through residence in one of Back Bay's most sought-after settings.
