About this home
Once a grand hotel dating back to 1897, this distinguished building in Boston?s Back Bay has been transformed into a refined residence. Located on the second floor, unit 212 is a bright, south facing, generously sized one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom condo that lives larger than its square footage. The unit includes central air conditioning and an in-unit washer and dryer. Meticulously cared for, the building maintains all of its original charm with some modern upgrades: a recently updated fitness center, on-site management, 24/7 concierge service, a landscaped courtyard with an in-ground pool, elevators, assigned storage, and an attached garage with direct building access. Unit comes with an oversized storage space. Garage parking spot can be added for an additional $100,000 (average sale price value of $144,100 over the past 3 years)

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.

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.
