A truly exceptional offering on the waterside of Beacon Street, Unit 1 at 168 Beacon is a double-wide, three-bedroom duplex with expansive outdoor space, refined interiors, and captivating Charles River views-an exceedingly rare combination in Boston's Back Bay. Spanning two levels with soaring ceilings and bespoke finishes, it blends the elegance of a historic brownstone with contemporary sophistication. The parlor level features an open layout anchored by a custom kitchen with Wolf and Thermador appliances, gas cooking, and double ovens. Living and dining areas extend to a private terrace with IPE hardwood decking, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, sound system, and lush plantings. The lower level offers three bedrooms-two with en-suite baths. The primary suite, currently styled as a family room with wet bar (Seller can convert it back), opens to a second private patio. Two deeded garage parking spaces complete this rare and luxurious city residence.
