# 255 Beacon Condominium
255 Beacon Street is an established pre-war condominium building in Back Bay's most coveted location, featuring just 24 residences in a New York-style elevator building. The property sits steps to the Charles River and The Esplanade, positioning residents in the heart of Boston's most walkable neighborhood. With a median sale price of $799,000 and an average price per square foot of $1,135, this building represents classic Boston real estate.
The building offers predominantly one-bedroom floor plans, with select two-bedroom, two-bathroom units available. One-bedroom units typically feature a gracious entry foyer, fireplaced living/dining area, eat-in kitchen, and bedroom with generous closet space. Corner units command premium appeal, offering multiple exposures and natural light, often with river views and bay windows. Two-bedroom units feature separate dining rooms, dual bathrooms, and superior entertaining layouts suitable for formal entertaining.
Fourth-floor and penthouse units are particularly sought after for their light, views, and distinct character. Several units showcase recently renovated kitchens with custom cabinetry and designer finishes. Entry foyers function as genuine living spaces—a hallmark of pre-war design—some large enough to serve dual purposes including office use.

The high owner-occupancy rate creates a stable, residential community rather than a transient investment portfolio.
