Generously sized and luxuriously outfitted, this architecturally significant home presents a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity for the discerning buyer.

The conveniences of city living and Boston’s historic charm seamlessly meld at the famous Burrage Mansion, with the 314 Commonwealth Avenue penthouse as the crowning jewel.

The unit’s open floor plan allows the minimalist design to shine. The real star of the show?
