GARDEN PARTY
Situated steps from the scenic Public Garden, find 9 Arlington St., Unit 4. Spread over 4,158 square feet, this lavish apartment houses three bedrooms and 3 ½-baths that can be easily accessed through a secure direct elevator. Upon entering the Victorianstyle home, entertainers will immediately be drawn to the generous and ornate dining area— crown molding, bay windows and a stunning fireplace wow. “This dining room is superb,” says listing agent Michael Harper. “It’s large enough to accommodate 12, has a gorgeous marble mantle fireplace, centered chandelier and views over Marlborough Street.” An adjacent eat-in kitchen offers ample space for party prep and details like a coffered ceiling. Pass through the breakfast area into the living room, where a garden scene enchants through floor-to-ceiling windows, and a marble mantle fireplace offers a cozy element. Down the hall, find a regal primary suite complete with hardwood floors, a dressing room and a marble en suite. $13,000,000, 9 Arlington St., Unit 4, Michael Harper, 617.480.3938, 9arlington4.com
