Commonwealth Condominium

Commonwealth Condominium is a historic, single-story condominium property occupying a 19th-century Back Bay townhouse footprint on Commonwealth Avenue, originally constructed in 1889 and now configured primarily with studio residences. The building preserves classic interior details—high ceilings, decorative moldings, stained glass, and ornate mantels—while offering modern conveniences such as elevator access, broadband internet availability, and in-unit wet bars in some homes. Shared facilities emphasize outdoor and social space: a professionally landscaped ground patio, private balconies for select units, and a large common roof deck with expansive city and skyline views. Practical building services include common laundry on each floor, on-site building management, and pet-friendly policies; parking is handled through nearby garages and street permit options rather than private garages. The exterior presentation maintains period architectural character with bay windows and a tree-lined frontage on the Commonwealth Avenue mall, placing residents within walking distance of Newbury Street, the Charles River Esplanade, MBTA stations, cultural venues like Symphony Hall and the Prudential, and a dense mix of restaurants and shops that define Back Bay urban life.
