Beacon Street Residence

This sophisticated city home surprises at every turn, blending bold, risk-taking design with a moody, masculine sensibility. Behind the traditional beauty of a circa-1900 brownstone exterior, a once characterless white-box interior was transformed by layering rich color, custom millwork, and refined architectural details. Natural focal points—bay windows and fireplaces—anchor the design, while redesigned fireplace surrounds and tailored built-ins add a stately, contemporary edge. High-gloss deep blue-gray walls amplify limited natural light, echoed by glass tile, graphic wall treatments, and a handsome, cohesive palette throughout. Thoughtful moments for living and gathering abound, from a cozy kitchen banquette to bay window seats overlooking Beacon Street and the Charles River.
