27 Chestnut St

A low-rise, 19th-century two-story masonry building located in central Boston, originally constructed in 1880 and later adapted into residential condominium units. The property’s historic fabric is evident in lofty arched windows, period parquet and hardwood flooring, and carved exterior masonry; a number of units occupy duplex configurations that evoke townhouse living within a converted institutional structure. Interiors commonly include formal living and dining rooms, well-equipped kitchens, wet bars, and flexible rooms that can serve as dens, studies, or additional bedrooms. Shared spaces emphasize landscaped courtyard gardens, a scenic common roof deck, and multiple small exterior terraces, porches, and private balconies that capture city views. Building services and conveniences noted across listings include an elevator, resident superintendent, deeded storage, and on-site bike storage; individual units may feature in-unit laundry, central air or HVAC, and garage or off-street parking where available. The association is professionally managed and covers communal maintenance of landscaped grounds and roof-deck amenities. Situated on a premier Beacon Hill/Chestnut Street corridor, the building fronts historic streetscapes and is within easy walking distance of neighborhood restaurants, parks, and transit corridors, offering a blend of preserved architectural character with contemporary residential upgrades.
