About This Home
Some homes just feel right the moment you walk in. Unit 2 at 36 Appleton Street is one of them. Tucked into a landmarked South End brownstone on one of the neighborhood's most sought-after residential blocks, this beautifully appointed one-bedroom condo delivers the kind of space that is increasingly rare in Boston — thoughtfully proportioned, quietly refined, and full of timeless character.
The living room opens with a set of classic bay windows that frame a canopy of tree-lined streetscape, flooding the space with natural northern light. A restored marble fireplace anchors the room, flanked by custom built-in shelving that offers both style and storage. Crown molding and wide-plank hardwood floors carry throughout, giving the entire home a warm, cohesive finish that feels both historic and effortlessly current.
The kitchen is a proper chef's galley — fully renovated with rich cherry cabinetry, stone granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, dishwasher, and full-size refrigerator, plus a peninsula breakfast bar that opens toward the living area. An in-unit LG washer and dryer, tucked conveniently off the kitchen, completes the picture of modern urban living.
The bedroom is well-scaled, with recessed lighting, hardwood floors, and access to an en-suite walk-in closet at 6'0" x 6'3" — a genuinely rare offering at this price point in the South End. The full bathroom features a tiled shower stall, stone granite vanity, and warm cherry cabinetry.
Above it all, residents enjoy access to a shared roof deck with sweeping city views — the ideal space for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply taking in Boston's remarkable skyline. Central air conditioning, central heat, and building intercom round out this move-in ready home. Available September 1, 2026.

What's Included
Location
Appleton Street sits squarely within the Golden Triangle — the South End's most coveted micro-neighborhood, bounded by Dartmouth, Columbus, and Tremont Streets. Widely considered the finest block cluster in the entire South End, the Golden Triangle is defined by its impeccably preserved Victorian brownstones, tree-lined residential streets, and an unmatched walkability to the neighborhood's best dining, cafes, and green spaces. The block is architecturally cohesive and notably quiet for how central it is, making it a favorite among professionals and graduate students who want genuine neighborhood character without sacrificing urban access.
The South End delivers an exceptional walkable lifestyle: James Hook Lobster, Tatte Bakery, Myers + Chang, Flour Bakery, and the South End Buttery are all within a short walk, as are Whole Foods and the Boston Center for the Arts. Tremont Street and Columbus Avenue, the neighborhood's two main commercial corridors, are just around the corner.
Transit is effortlessly connected from this location, with Green Line T-Stops at Copley and Back Bay Station a short distance away, providing direct access to Downtown, the Longwood Medical Area, and beyond.
