25 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02108
Located at one of Boston's most historic and prestigious addresses, 25 Beacon Street offers ultra-luxury homes of the highest level of exclusivity that perfectly combines 19th-century warmth and refinement with 21st-century luxury. Located at the top of Beacon Hill, the property offers an unmatched address right next to the Massachusetts State House and opposite the Boston Common and Public Garden, guaranteeing forever-unobstructed views.
Its past is fascinating and filled with Boston lore. The current building on the site was constructed in 1927 for the American Unitarian Association (AUA) and is the creation of architect group Putnam and Cox, but the site itself was part of land owned by figures of history like John Hancock. The AUA was so attached to their previous address, another building on the other side of the State House, that they lobbied the state legislature successfully to retain number 25 Beacon Street as the address of their new headquarters, sticking it out of numerical sequence.
In the mid-2010s, the old institutional building was sold and totally gut-renovated and repurposed as a boutique residential property. The development remade the building into just six beautiful, floor-through homes that are very rare in the crowded, historic neighborhood.
These houses are the definition of luxury residence. Each house is an extra-wide, row-end residence, with three exposures and an abundance of daylight. They vary in size in excess of 3,500 square feet on one level in many cases, blending period details like detailed molding and oversized fireplaces with modern finishes like quarter-sawn white oak floors and white marble bathrooms.
Residents enjoy 24/7 concierge and doorman service, direct elevator access to their own private foyer, a fitness room, a wine cellar, and, most surprisingly, secure underground garage parking with valet service, two spaces per home. To live at 25 Beacon is to own a piece of Boston's storied past while enjoying every modern amenity available.
