This tree-lined first block of Marlborough Street
is perhaps one of the most elegant
neighborhoods in Boston.
Charles Kirby, the architect of the original Boston Public Library, built the 2 distinctive five-story residences at
13 & 15 Marlborough Street
in the French-inspired Brick Academic style in 1864.
In keeping with the elegant tradition first established
by Mr. Kirby, Stonegate, in collaboration with
Ahern-Schopfer and Associates Architects,
redesigned these two historic structures into
one single building in 2004.
As the two buildings are now combined, each of the 6 single-floor townhouses has between 1,852 - 2,000 sf of living space with 38 foot widths, which is unusually wide for a Back Bay dwelling. Elegant triple bay bowfront windows flood the spacious living rooms, dining rooms and master bedroom suites with sunlight. 13-15 Marlborough Street also includes the rarest and most precious of all commodities in Boston: guaranteed parking for each owner. These are not alley spaces, but secure underground garage spaces where electronic lifts allow you the luxury of keeping not one...but two cars in your Back Bay home! Private foyers, elevator access, modern state-of-the-art kitchens, gas fireplaces, custom moldings, and extra-high ceilings are just a few of the modern touches that complement 13-15 Marlborough Street's traditional Boston beginnings. |
