Set behind 86 feet of prime sunlit frontage on Commonwealth Avenue, The Bradley is one of the most architecturally distinguished residences in Boston. Originally constructed at the turn of the 20th century and reimagined in 2012, this collection of just eleven ultra-luxury homes blends the elegance of the Belle Époque era with modern-day sophistication. For those seeking a rare and refined residence in the heart of Back Bay, The Bradley stands in a class of its own.
Designed by the famed architectural firm Peabody and Stearns, the original three connected townhomes were transformed by The Holland Companies and Grassi Design Group into a single, stunning building. Period details including soaring ceilings, massive stone fireplaces, and intricate millwork have been meticulously restored and paired with top-tier finishes, state-of-the-art systems, and thoughtful layouts.
Located in the upper Back Bay, The Bradley offers both tranquility and access. Residents are just moments from Newbury Street, the Charles River Esplanade, Fenway Park, and cultural landmarks, yet enjoy the privacy and quietude of one of Boston’s most prestigious residential corridors.

From the moment you enter the magnificent elliptical staircase foyer, the building’s craftsmanship is unmistakable. The original Great Hall was reimagined as an inviting residential lobby complete with ornate fireplaces, historic detailing, and concierge service offered weekdays. The space feels more like a private club than a condominium lobby, and it sets the tone for what lies beyond.
Each home at The Bradley is distinct, but all share a sense of volume and scale rarely found in the city. With ceilings reaching up to 16 feet and expansive layouts across the building’s full width, the residences feel more like brownstone mansions than typical condos. Many include private terraces or decks, offering a coveted outdoor escape with classic Back Bay views.
Residents enjoy access to premium conveniences including a heated on-site garage, direct elevator access, and professional management. With only eleven homes, The Bradley maintains a sense of quiet exclusivity ideal for those who appreciate privacy and design in equal measure.
Inside each home, no detail has been overlooked. The chef-grade kitchens feature integrated appliances, custom cabinetry, and generous storage- perfect for entertaining or day-to-day living. Living rooms often include working fireplaces, ornate ceiling treatments, and oversized windows that flood each space with natural light.
Spa-like bathrooms offer marble finishes, soaking tubs, radiant heated floors, and in select residences, infrared saunas- turning every primary suite into a personal sanctuary. The finest materials, from rich hardwoods to detailed millwork, have been used throughout, underscoring the building’s commitment to timeless quality.
With layouts ranging from three to five bedrooms and square footages that rival single-family homes, The Bradley is one of the rare addresses in Boston that offers both grandeur and livability. For discerning buyers seeking historic beauty, architectural pedigree, and boutique-scale luxury, The Bradley is a Back Bay masterpiece.
