23 Bay State Rd

A low-rise, single-story historic condominium block in Back Bay, Boston, originally constructed in 1890 and updated with contemporary systems. The property contains primarily two-bedroom residences and a handful of varied floor plans including duplex penthouse units; traditional details such as high ceilings, oversized bay or picture windows, hardwood floors and decorative fireplaces recur throughout. Common elements include an elevator serving the building, shared laundry facilities, and deeded basement storage; many units feature private outdoor space such as balconies or decks with views toward the Charles River. Kitchens range from period-updated to fully renovated chef-ready layouts with stone counters and high-end appliances. On-site parking is available as deeded spaces, often tandem or direct-access. The building is professionally managed, pet-friendly, and combines preserved Back Bay architectural character with modern conveniences like central air in many units, in-unit or stacked laundry in select homes, and recent common-area renovations. Its location places residents steps from the Charles River Esplanade, Kenmore Square, Newbury Street and Fenway cultural destinations, delivering an urban, walkable lifestyle with immediate transit and highway access.
