conveniences, including a 24/7 concierge, onsite management, a live-in superintendent and direct access garage parking. There is private storage, central air and complimentary washers and dryers. The center bank of three elevators leads to the substantial private vestibule of the home, which opens to a grand foyer entrance. Designed and decorated by noted designer William Hodgins, the residence displays many unique touches, including hand-stenciled and painted oak floors. The circular floor plan wraps around the entire sixth floor, extending left and right of the foyer. The stunning living area overlooks the river. “This side of the unit was once four defined areas but now expands wide enough for entertaining but still offers distinct private spaces,” said Marsh. At the far end, a mural painted by renowned artist Robert Jackson adorns the dining area. The cook’s kitchen off the dining area features a hand-stenciled and painted checkered green and white floor. Divided into double breakfast nooks and the cooking areas, it has granite counters, custom cherry cabinets, wood-paneled double Sub-Zero refrigerators, a Miele dishwasher and cooktop range. There are two ovens within a bank of cabinets near an oversized cut out “window” above a breakfast nook where you can sit and gaze out to the water. In another nod to

From the kitchen, a hall leads to the first carpeted family bedroom with access to a handicap-accessible full bath, a walk-in shower and marble-topped vanity. Stonecolored tiles encase the space. The second and third family bedrooms lie to the right and across the hall from two mirrored double door closets. Currently functioning as a library and study, these rooms feature built-in bookshelves and storage and are separated by double pocket doors with windows. The

library boasts a one-of-a-kind built-in unit with hand-painted doors highlighting titles from literature’s finest authors. A gorgeously outfitted wet bar featuring a wine cooler, granite counters and cabinets is nestled off the study. A powder room sits off the hall and contains a marble-topped custom vanity with a circular stainless sink. The half bath has creamy wainscoting that runs throughout the residence. Coming full circle to the entryway foyer, the sweeping artisan wrought iron and brass staircase leads up to the seventh floor where the south-facing rooms are drenched in sun-

light. The top of the stairs opens to a landing that includes access to a private vestibule and a walk-in closet. The dressing room for the fourth family bedroom sits across from the stairs and houses a large built-in bureau. A hanging closet abuts the bedroom on the right and the en suite bath on the left that features elegant stone tiles throughout the walk-in shower and walls. A vanity with a marbled counter is located next to the shower. Directly ahead of the stairs the spacious master suite overlooks Beacon Street and includes an entertainment center underneath deep cornice molding. Its adjacent dressing room has mirrored double door closets and ample space to set a desk and chair in front of the window. As with all the windows with southern exposure in the unit, the window is angled to allow for fullest sunlight. There is a wall of built-in drawers and storage abutting the master bath. The luxurious master bath includes a marble walk-in shower with a seat. A whirlpool tub sits at the far side, past a floor-to-ceiling mirrored closet and a lengthy marble-topped vanity. Circling around, a hall with a double bank of closets and a mini-refrigerator leads back to the stairs. While Unit 63/64 at 330 Beacon St. presents a rare opportunity for fine luxury living in the Back Bay, it is the unheard of 54-foot span of water views combined with 35 feet of balcony that makes this home on two floors one of Boston’s most desirable places to live.
