Weekly Spotlight: Boston's Top Condo

1-bed, 1-bath home with stunning views of the Common and State House

B
uilt in 1899 and converted to condos in 1982, this 508‑sq‑ft unit sits on the fourth floor of the historic Hotel Bellevue, once the hub for Beacon Hill politicians. The building still features its original marble lobby and front door, while the interior showcases parquet hardwood throughout, except in the kitchen and bath.

    The single bedroom is 69 sq ft, with a closet behind mirrored sliding doors and an open wall that keeps the space airy. A full bath on the right offers a white pedestal sink, ceramic tile flooring, and a shower/bath combo behind a curtain. The 232‑sq‑ft living/dining area is highlighted by a decorative fireplace with a wood mantle and a mirror, a large candle‑style light fixture, crown molding, and a curved‑glass window that frames views of Boston Common, the Public Garden, and the State House courtyard.

    The 48‑sq‑ft kitchen features a black sink, black electric cooktop, light‑colored cabinets, a white subway tile backsplash with a thin black line, ceramic tile countertops, a white refrigerator, and tile flooring.

    Monthly management fee of $687 covers gas, heat, electricity, and other utilities. Residents enjoy on‑site management, a rooftop deck with city views and a function room, bike storage, two sets of laundry machines, and a rubbish room on each floor. Pets are allowed—one per unit with restrictions.

    Located at the corner of Bowdoin and Beacon Streets, just east of Taco Azul, the condo offers proximity to Boston Common, the Public Garden, and the State House’s golden dome. The building’s 163 condos were converted from the former Hotel Bellevue in 1982.
