The Modern, at 255 Northampton Street in Boston's South End, is a seven-story condominium community with 62 residences, built in two phases completed in 2006 and 2011.
The first phase delivered 25 condominiums at 255 Northampton Street, and a second building, known as The Modern 2, added 37 more next door at 257 Northampton Street, with additional homes at 263-265. The second phase was developed by New Boston Ventures, Metric Corp., and PEG Properties. True to its name, the building takes a contemporary approach in a neighborhood better known for Victorian brownstones, with clean lines and large expanses of glass.
Residences are one- and two-bedroom homes of roughly 750 to 1,300 square feet, along with loft-style penthouses on the top floor. Interiors feature floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, Italian marble, and high-end appliances, and some homes have balconies.
The building's shared roof deck offers more than 4,000 square feet of outdoor space with built-in grills, and residents have elevator service and deeded underground garage parking.
The Modern sits where the South End meets the Fenway and Back Bay. The Massachusetts Avenue Orange Line station and Symphony Green Line station are a short walk, and Symphony Hall and the Christian Science Plaza are nearby. The restaurants, cafes, and parks of the South End are all around the building.
The neighborhood's mix of historic streetscapes and newer buildings gives residents easy access to Tremont Street's dining, the SoWa district, and the Southwest Corridor Park's walking and biking paths.
For buyers who want modern design and a large shared roof deck in a convenient South End location, The Modern offers a contemporary alternative to the neighborhood's classic brownstones.
