At 126 Marlborough Street in Boston's Back Bay, a reimagined townhouse combines historic charm with modern construction. Completed in 2021 by Pegasus Luxury Homes and CBT Architects, the property maintains its 1868 facade while featuring entirely new interiors in a classic modern style. Spanning 4,788 square feet, this four-bedroom, seven-bathroom residence offers the benefits of new construction within a historic neighborhood setting. A spiral staircase wraps around a glass elevator, connecting living spaces with clean lines, hardwood floors, and marble surfaces. Furnishings by SheltonMindel are included. The property includes an attached two-car garage, two additional open parking spaces, and a roof deck with an outdoor kitchen.
The living spaces include a living room and study with linear fireplaces that open to a private terrace, and a family room with similar design elements. A wet bar serves the formal dining room. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide natural light throughout, with architectural details including coffered ceilings, custom millwork, and high-quality finishes.
The kitchen features a dining bay and Gaggenau appliances, with custom cabinetry and stone countertops. Each bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with radiant-heated marble floors and contemporary fixtures. The primary suite occupies an entire floor and includes a linear fireplace, two separate wardrobe rooms, and two spa-like bathrooms with radiant heating. The roof deck offers an outdoor kitchen and views of the Back Bay neighborhood.
The attached two-car garage is a rare amenity in Back Bay, where most residents rely on street parking or rental garages. Combined with two additional parking spaces, the property accommodates four vehicles. The glass elevator connects all levels and complements the spiral staircase. Smart home systems control lighting, climate, security, and entertainment. As a 2021 construction, the home features modern building systems and efficiency while preserving the neighborhood's historic character. The location is between Commonwealth Avenue and Newbury Street.
The Back Bay Luxury Townhouse Market Dynamics: Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, particularly the tree-lined streets between Arlington and Massachusetts Avenue, has experienced remarkable appreciation among luxury properties, with fully renovated or new-construction townhouses exceeding $8 million appreciating 53% over the past decade. The typical buyer profile for Back Bay luxury real estate skews professional and entrepreneurial: biotechnology executives, venture capital partners, healthcare industry leaders, and technology entrepreneurs aged 44-59 comprise 71% of acquisitions above $10 million. Unlike suburban buyers seeking space, Back Bay purchasers prioritize walkability to work, cultural institutions, dining, and retail, viewing the neighborhood as Boston's answer to Manhattan's Upper East Side or London's Mayfair. Properties offering parking for multiple vehicles command premiums of 18-25% versus comparable homes without parking, as this amenity remains exceptionally rare in the historic core. With only 8-12 properties exceeding $8 million listed annually across all of Back Bay, and fewer than two per year offering new-construction interiors combined with period facades and parking for four vehicles, 126 Marlborough Street represents a genuinely unique convergence of location, design quality, and urban convenience in America's most historically significant luxury neighborhood.
