About this home

Front-door parking on Beacon Hill is one of the city’s most elusive privileges—an arrival experience that transforms historic living into something completely effortless. Behind a preserved 19th-century facade, this residence has undergone an uncompromising modern reconstruction, imbuing the heritage framework with unexpected continuous sightlines and soaring natural light. The parlor level opens into an expansive architectural "salon" anchored by custom millwork, an integrated gas fireplace, and a tailored banquette designed for both comfort and elegance. At the center of the floor, the kitchen is anchored by monolithic, deeply veined slabs of Arabescato Vagli marble, illuminated by sunlight that tracks across bespoke cabinetry throughout the day. Occupying the entire second story, the primary suite forms a quiet, full-floor sanctuary. Generous ceiling volumes frame a tranquil sleeping chamber, a dedicated executive study, a bespoke dressing suite, and an intricately appointed artisan stone bath. Guests have also been masterfully considered, with each parallel suite enjoying its own floor. Crowning the home, an upper-level lounge opens directly onto a private skyline roof terrace. Outfitted with an integrated outdoor kitchen and a discreet retractable entertainment center, it offers a sheltered, elevated vantage point looking out over the historic gas-lit canopy below.
