About this home

A rare opportunity to own one of the finest luxury homes in the city of Boston. Situated on Back Bay’s toniest residential street, the exterior of 130 Commonwealth Avenue evokes the timeless elegance of 18th century Parisian architecture. Part of the famed "Commonwealth Sisters", the home’s beautifully carved limestone façade stands apart from its brownstone neighbors. The finishes in the home were executed flawlessly in recent renovations by a skilled architect and artisans, whose attention to detail is stunning. Amenities of the home include 5 fireplaces, a 2,200 bottle wine cellar, a private elevator. With 12 total rooms, 5 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, and 6 parking spaces, this spectacular single family home is a true mansion in the heart of Back Bay. For the uncompromising buyer or a visionary developer, 130 Commonwealth Avenue offers a rare opportunity.
