102 Gainsborough St

A turn-of-the-century brownstone converted to condominium ownership, this low-rise block occupies a single-story presentation in listings but reads as a garden- to third-floor walk-up/elevator brownstone in Fenway’s Gainsborough Street corridor. Built in 1899, the masonry façade, tree-lined street frontage and traditional Boston brownstone proportions give it a classic, historic character. Units are primarily one-bedroom layouts with hardwood floors, exposed brick, high ceilings in some residences, and period details such as decorative fireplaces; select homes include private decks or landscaped brick patios with direct walkouts from living rooms. The association is professionally managed and known for strong financial reserves, a staffed 24-hour security presence, daily trash and recycling pickup, on-site maintenance, and an elevator serving multiple levels. Building amenities emphasize practical urban living: in-unit washer/dryers in many units, central air or HVAC upgrades, and deeded or street parking options nearby. Pet-friendly policies and a high owner-occupancy rate contribute to a stabilized community. The property sits a short walk from Northeastern University, Berklee, Symphony Hall, Whole Foods, Fenway Park, the Back Bay edge and multiple T stops, positioning it for easy access to cultural institutions, dining and transit.
