About Somerset Boston

The Somerset, situated along the prestigious Commonwealth Avenue Mall in Boston's Back Bay, stands as a classic residential building originally constructed in 1897 as a luxury hotel. Meticulously converted into 116 condominiums in 1983, The Somerset seamlessly blends historic charm with modern amenities. Its six-story structure boasts soaring ceilings, large windows, in-unit laundry, and elegant hardwood floors, creating light-filled and spacious living spaces.

This iconic building features a grand lobby with a 24-hour concierge, a landscaped courtyard suitable for private functions, and a new gym for residents' fitness needs. Notably, The Somerset distinguishes itself as one of Boston's few full-service developments with an exclusive private outdoor swimming pool reserved solely for its residents. Some lucky occupants enjoy the added convenience of garage parking attached to the building.

The Back Bay location offers unparalleled accessibility to The Fenway, Cambridge, Beacon Hill, and The South End, with proximity to Fenway Park, The Prudential Mall, and the MBTA Green Line station at Hynes Convention Center. Residents can also enjoy the nearby Charles River Esplanade, a picturesque retreat along the banks of the Charles River featuring walkways, statuary, playgrounds, and the iconic Hatch Memorial Shell performance stage. Rarely available on the market, The Somerset's units are reasonably priced compared to other luxury developments, making it a coveted address in Boston.
