Property Description

A truly exceptional offering on the waterside of Beacon Street, Unit 1 at 168 Beacon is a double-wide, three-bedroom duplex with expansive outdoor space, refined interiors, and captivating Charles River views—an exceedingly rare combination in Boston’s Back Bay. Spanning two levels with soaring ceilings and bespoke finishes, it blends the elegance of a historic brownstone with contemporary sophistication. The parlor level features an open layout anchored by a custom kitchen with Wolf and Thermador appliances, gas cooking, and double ovens. Living and dining areas extend to a private terrace with IPE hardwood decking, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, sound system, and lush plantings. The lower level offers three bedrooms—two with en-suite baths. The primary suite, currently styled as a lounge with wet bar, opens to a second private patio. Two deeded garage parking spaces complete this rare and luxurious city residence.
