For Sale

$5,995,000

Smart Buyer Rebate $29,975

Behind a discreet Beacon Hill façade lies one of the neighborhood’s most extraordinary private gardens, over 1,750 square feet of lush, professionally landscaped outdoor space, designed for both quiet retreat and grand entertaining. Home to the Appalachian Mountain Club for nearly a century, the property underwent a full renovation in 2019, restored to its residential roots and reimagined with top-of-the-line appliances and thoughtful design. High ceilings, intricate moldings, and custom finishes highlight the gracious interiors, while the open flow of the main level connects to the expansive garden, creating a true indoor–outdoor lifestyle seldom found in the city. Spanning two levels, the home offers generous living spaces with the option to be delivered fully furnished. Ideally situated just moments from the State House and Boston Common, this is a rare opportunity to own a historic Boston home with a garden sanctuary unlike any other.
