Property Description

Welcome to a distinguished residence where storied elegance meets modern ease. Stretching across two grand Back Bay brownstones, this home defines prime city living. Commissioned for the Lowell family and later cherished by author John Updike, 151 Beacon offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and just over 2,000 sq ft of refined space. Direct elevator entry reveals a formal living room with gas fireplace, bespoke built-ins and picture-frame windows overlooking Beacon Street. An open kitchen with bay-window seating frames sweeping Hancock Tower vistas, anchored by a central island and second fireplace. The serene primary suite pampers with a generous walk-in closet and spa ensuite. Two additional bedrooms, a powder room, in-unit laundry and dual-zone AC/heat complete the floor plan. Set within a professionally managed boutique building of just six residences, the home conveys one tandem parking space and places you moments from Boston’s Public Garden, Commonwealth Mall and the Charles River.
