In a prime setting on the rise of historic Beacon Hill, this classic 19th-century townhouse on peaceful tree-lined West Cedar Street sits on the block right between Louisburg Square and Charles Street, near fine boutiques and restaurants and the Charles River Esplanade. Giving lovely tree-framed views of West Cedar Street and the Louisburg Square rooftops, this four-story mansard-roof residence has five bedrooms and three and a-half baths, and offers the perfect opportunity for a custom renovation. One of the five fireplaces is highlighted by an exquisite hand-painted scenic mural done in 1930 by renowned English landscape painter Rex Vicat Cole, a member of the Royal Society of British Artists. Outdoors, there is a private courtyard plus two potential deck spaces, one on the rooftop where picturesque panoramic scenes sweep over Beacon Hill and the Back Bay skyline all the way to the Charles River and Cambridge. The basement level has outside access. Rental parking is available nearby.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
