330 Beacon Street, on the water side of Beacon Street at Fairfield Street in Back Bay, is an 18-story condominium tower with 78 residences, completed in 1960 and converted to condominiums in 1974.
Designed by Hugh Stubbins and Associates and built by Turner Construction, the tower replaced five 19th-century townhouses on one of Back Bay's most historic streets. Its red-brick facade undulates along the street, a modern nod to the neighborhood's bay-front rowhouses, and the window pattern shifts every few floors. Architectural historians have compared it to Alvar Aalto's Baker House directly across the river. The building opened as rental apartments and was converted to condominiums in 1974.
Residences range from studios to four-bedroom homes, from about 500 to nearly 2,900 square feet, and most have private balconies. Interiors feature hardwood floors, high ceilings, and generous closets, and many homes look out over the Charles River and the city skyline, with views of crew races and the Fourth of July fireworks.
Residents have a 24-hour doorman and concierge, elevator service, and deeded garage parking for some homes.
The location is classic Back Bay. The Charles River Esplanade and its paths are just behind the building, Newbury Street's shops and restaurants are a short walk, and Storrow Drive is close at hand for drives out of the city. Copley Square, the Public Garden, and Beacon Hill are within easy reach, and nearby residences include 180 Beacon Street.
For buyers who want river views, full-service living, and a landmark of Boston modernism on one of Back Bay's most prestigious streets, 330 Beacon Street offers a rare combination.
