The Armory on the Common

The Armory on the Common is a turn-of-the-century, single‑story boutique residential property originally constructed in 1900 and composed of a small number of large condominium residences. Architecturally it evokes historic brownstone and Beacon Hill townhouse character: high ceilings, oversized windows, original hardwoods (oak and pine), marble mantels and detailed millwork. Typical units are multi‑bedroom layouts—commonly three-bedroom plans or larger duplex penthouses—featuring formal living and dining rooms, separate libraries or studies, generous kitchens with pantries, multiple bathrooms (many with tub and shower), and abundant built‑in storage. Common interior features across the building include communal water and waste systems, in‑unit laundry in many units, ceiling fans, wet bars in select homes, and dedicated private storage in the basement. Exterior amenities are compact and urban: a landscaped common roof deck, a private roof deck for select units, and practical elements such as rain gutters. Parking is available with deeded or reserved spaces and some listings reference valet/garage arrangements. The association is small and owner‑oriented, with pet‑friendly policies and occasional concierge/doorman services in select residences. Located steps from Boston Common and within easy reach of Inman and Harvard Squares, the property blends historic detailing with updated kitchen finishes and modern mechanicals, appealing to buyers seeking classic Boston fabric with generous apartment scale.
