The photo immediately below was taking back in the May 2007 timeframe, when heavy construction was still ongoing at the Providence on Newbury located at 294 Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay.
Fast forward to the present, and you can see by the below exclusive photo that work has progressed nicely, along with newly planted grass, and the removal of the ugly construction fencing.
The Providence on Newbury is a 7-unit high-end condo rehab project in the heart of Back Bay’s trendy shopping and restaurant row. The grand penthouse was never available due to it being held by a family member of the development team, however, the remaining units have gone somewhat quickly, and a single two-bedroom two-bathroom 1,550 square foot unit remains. Priced at $1,430,000, the unit comes with parking, direct elevator access, subzero/wolf kitchens with an indoor grill, oak floors, marble baths, laundry in unit, central heating and air conditioning, an open floorplan, great condo association with strong initial reserve. and 9 windows on Newbury Street.
Previously sold units in the boutique development are commanding strong sales to list price ratios with Unit 3A, a one-bedroom listing for $565,000 and selling at $569,000, and Unit 2A, a two-bedroom two and a half-bathroom listing for $1,425,000 and selling at $1,400,000.
Condo fees for the remaining two-bedroom unit in this 1885 original construction building are $616. For more information, or to setup a showing, please contact us.
Below are several photos of the very tastefully done Unit 2B, note that the Providence on Newbury has indeed received their Certificate of Occupancy, so this one remaining unit is move-in ready.
