Magnificent and rarely available one-bedroom residence at the historic Barron Mansion on waterside Beacon Street boasting spectacular period detailing, sweeping Charles River views, elevator access, and the building’s only private deck. This French Baroque mansion was built in 1871 and was once the home of Clarence Barron, President of Dow Jones, manager of The Wall Street Journal, and founder of Barron's Magazine. Rich architectural detail defines the main living space, including a hand-carved stone fireplace set in Chelsea tiles, quadruple crown molding, exquisite wood built-ins, and graceful crescent ceilings in the kitchen. Oversized windows and soaring ceilings invite abundant natural light and frame tranquil river vistas. Ideally positioned in the heart of Back Bay just moments from the Esplanade and Newbury Street, this historic home presents a unique opportunity for refined city living with the added bonus of exclusive outdoor space. The property is being offered "as is".

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
