If you’ve ever moved from the hustle and bustle of Newbury Street in the Back Bay towards the esplanade and the Charles River, you know that once you cross Commonwealth Avenue heading north, the pace of life and city sounds all tend to slow down.  Essentially, that is Marlborough Street, a wide, one-way, tree-lined street in the heart of the Back Bay that puts you moments from everything the city has to offer, but also in a serene setting.

A new listing this week hit the market on Marlborough Street, specifically, unit 1 at 347 Marlborough Street.  The condo is a 605 square foot unit that is accompanied by one deeded tandem parking space, exceptional in-unit and common area storage, and a common washer and dryer that is close enough that you would think it was part of the unit itself.  Listed at $499,000, there is an additional 120 square foot sun room that is not factored into the 605 square foot calculation, which brings the effective per square foot price to approximately $688.

Back Bay location on one of Boston’s most desirable streets! This garden-level home features hardwood floors, exposed brick, and a wood-burning stove. Unique 120 square foot sun room (not included in square footage calculation) floods the unit with light and serves as a great dining area. The galley kitchen offers ample storage and everything a modern cook needs. The spacious bedroom boasts large closets and great built-ins. Common laundry and one deeded tandem parking space included.

An open house will be held at 347 Marlborough Street unit 1 on Sunday, March 15, 2009 from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM.
