THE RESIDENCES

The four homes of Twenty Beacon are unique. They offer a very private residential experience in a landmark building in the heart of Boston. Comfortable, convenient and beautifully finished, these homes have all the hallmarks of luxury you expect – marble and granite, limestone and hardwood, custom millwork and a third bedroom. But it’s the character that will have you imagining your life in this quintessentially Boston location.

The development includes three condominium flats at 2400 square feet each, and one penthouse home at 4000 square feet with a private roof deck overlooking the Boston Common. Every residence will have direct elevator access.

LOCATION

A very private, and surprisingly accessible location

This unique building sits atop one of the finest locations in the city at the corner of Beacon Street and Park Street, where Beacon Hill meets the Boston Common.

Architectural American History and natural beauty convene at this elevated and grand setting.

The neighborhood boasts some of the city's most superb residences, restaurants, hotels, and structures. These include Number 9 Park, The State House, and XV Beacon Street Hotel.

Other convenient area amenities include the new Boston Common Loews Theatre, The Orpheum Theatre, the Public Gardens, World-Famous Charles Street, the newly renovated Opera House, and Boston's upscale culinary shops: Whole Foods.

One might overlook the intimate building that is Twenty Beacon, nestled as it is near the corner of Boston Common, with commanding views of the State House dome and Beacon Street. To do so would be a mistake, for behind Twenty Beacon’s quiet facade lies a stunning wealth of residential advantage.

Begin with a central location, under appreciated only because so few have the pleasure of living within easy walking distance of so many destinations. Boston Common, the Public Garden and Newbury Street come easily to mind, but Twenty Beacon is also just a short walk from Quincy Market, the Waterfront, Charles Street and the Financial District. Fine restaurants, world-class shopping, workplace convenience and leisure venues abound... and, at the end of the day, one can come home to a quintessentially Boston address.

Move on to the views, amazing views that capture the spirit of Boston. These are rare views, for few will ever have the privilege of contemplating the gilding on the State House dome from such a familiar perspective. And few will ever look down Beacon Street from a height that sweeps across the Common and Public Garden, all the way to Kenmore Square and beyond.

In fact, few will ever lay claim to such a private and exclusive address, for Twenty Beacon comprises just four homes, designed for those who value both the privacy of a small residential enclave and the wide-ranging attractions of the city beyond.

PROPERTY

The Resident of Twenty Beacon is one of the finest remaining Queen Anne Buildings and it demonstrates the skill and versatility of architect William Gibbons Preston. Preston designed landmark buildings in the Renaissance Revival, Neo-Grec and Beaux Arts modes.

The building is virtually intact and is outstanding in its use of varied colors, textures and materials to enhance visual interest. It is also listed on the National Register as part of the Park Street District.

The building’s celebrated history includes a rich history of retailers. From 1894 through the 1920’s, Koopman & Company Antique dealers occupied the first and second floors, while GoodSpeeds, one of the nations finest antiquarian bookshops occupied the building until the 1980’s.
