Unit Information
Step into the former grand parlor of a Back Bay mansion designed by architect Charles Brigham, reimagined for modern living. Built in 1887 for Henry Austin Whitney, a prominent shoe manufacturer & railroad executive, 261 Marlborough is a French Academic-style brownstone steeped in Boston’s history. This 640 sq. ft. studio, once part of the Whitney family’s home, still showcases ornate millwork, a monumental fireplace, and ceiling medallions that once hosted the city’s Gilded Age elite. Now transformed with a chef’s kitchen featuring bespoke cabinetry, quartz counters, and under-cabinet lighting, plus a spa-inspired bath with rainfall shower & clawfoot tub, the residence blends history with luxury. With soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and potential to convert to a 1-bedroom, it offers rare appeal. Perfectly set between Fairfield and Exeter Streets, just blocks from the Public Garden and Commonwealth Mall, it places you in the heart of Back Bay.
