180 Beacon Street, at the corner of Beacon and Clarendon Streets in Boston's Back Bay, is an 18-story condominium high-rise with 113 residences on the water side of Beacon Street, steps from the Charles River Esplanade.
Developer Max Wasserman built the tower in the mid-1960s, designed by S. J. Kessler and Sons of New York, on the site of three Civil War-era townhouses. It opened as a rental apartment building in 1967 and was converted to condominiums in 1971. Its height drew attention at the time, and its construction helped prompt the creation of the Back Bay Historic District, which now limits new buildings of its size in the neighborhood. That makes 180 Beacon one of the few full-service high-rises on this stretch of Beacon Street.
The building has 17 residential floors topped by a penthouse level. Homes range from studios to four-bedroom residences, and many have private balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows. Upper floors on the river side look out over the Charles River toward Cambridge, while other homes face the Back Bay and downtown skylines. Layouts vary widely because many owners have renovated or combined units over the years.
Residents have a 24-hour concierge and doorman, a 24-hour valet garage beneath the building, a fitness center, and a club room. The building is smoke-free.
The Esplanade's paths and the Hatch Shell are a short walk across the Arthur Fiedler footbridge, and the Public Garden, Newbury Street, and the Arlington and Copley Green Line stations are a few blocks away. Nearby condominiums include 100 Beacon Street and 330 Beacon Street.
For buyers who want river views and full-service living on Beacon Street, 180 Beacon offers both in a part of Back Bay where new towers are no longer built.
