261 Marlborough St, #4, Boston, MA 02116
$799,000 - Back Bay

Step into the former grand parlor of a Back Bay mansion designed by Peabody & Stearns—reimagined for modern living. Built in 1884 for leather magnate William H. Baldwin, 261 Marlborough is a French Academic-style brownstone rich in prestige and symmetry. This 640 sq. ft. studio, once part of the Baldwin family’s home, still showcases ornate millwork, a monumental fireplace, and ceiling medallions that once hosted Boston’s Gilded Age elite. Now transformed with a chef’s kitchen featuring bespoke cabinetry, quartz counters, and under-cabinet lighting, plus a spa-inspired bath with rainfall shower and clawfoot tub, the residence blends history with luxury. With soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and potential to convert to a 1-bedroom, it offers rare appeal. Perfectly set between Fairfield and Exeter Streets, just blocks from the Public Garden and Commonwealth Mall, it places you in the heart of Back Bay’s storied past and vibrant present.
