Bespoke masterpiece on the sunny side of Marlborough. This exceptional 2019 new construction was built to the absolute highest of standards. It truly is a showcase of masterful design and impeccable craftsmanship. No details were overlooked. The level of thought and care devoted to design and engineering can be seen on every surface, and felt in every step. 279 Marlborough was built for everyday living, yet perfect for elegant entertaining. The parlor level strikes the perfect balance of comfort and elegance. The grand open staircase is simply a work of art. Walls of glass lead to the top floor terrace with outdoor fireplace and postcard views of the Back Bay skyline. Radiant floors throughout. Rare attached garage with lift to accommodate two full size cars. State of the art systems. Elevator to every floor. Electric car charging. Hardwired for internet. Heated walkways front and rear. Custom features far too numerous to list. A home without compromise, and beyond compare.
