A rare opportunity in Boston’s coveted St. Botolph neighborhood, perfectly situated between Back Bay and the South End. Few properties in the city offer the level of convenience and proximity that this classic brownstone provides, just steps from Copley Place, the Prudential Center, and the very best of both neighborhoods. Spanning over 4,000 square feet of living space, this quintessential Boston brownstone retains much of its original woodwork and architectural detail, offering the perfect canvas for a full redevelopment or luxury end-user restoration. The exceptionally large backyard - a rarity in this area - adds tremendous value and flexibility for outdoor space or potential expansion. Whether transformed into multiple high-end residences or one grand single-family masterpiece, the upside and location simply cannot be overstated. Location, location, location - this property defines it. The sale is subject to U.S. Bankruptcy Court approval. See firm remarks for details.
