With recent sales showing a median price around $706,250 and roughly $1,253 per square foot, units here move quickly—averaging just 18 days on market.
Based on listing details, the building offers:
Individual units frequently feature hardwood floors, updated kitchens with breakfast bars, granite or stainless finishes, generous closet space, and abundant natural light.
The Charlesview is predominantly a one-bedroom building, with layouts prized for efficient use of space—"without an inch of wasted space," as one listing puts it. Many one-bedrooms are corner units with multiple exposures, open kitchens flowing into the living/dining area, and en-suite or updated ceramic-tile baths.
Two-bedroom homes are rarely available and highly sought after. Examples include an 8th-floor two-bed with panoramic river and Mass Ave Bridge views, and a two-bed with its own private brick patio accessed through French doors. Penthouse and upper-floor units—particularly on the 8th and 9th floors—command premium views. Parking, whether deeded or rental, is a scarce and valuable feature attached to only a handful of units.
Location is a defining strength. The building sits steps from the Charles River Esplanade, Newbury Street, and Commonwealth Avenue, with easy MBTA access. Residents are close to Boston University, MIT, Kenmore Square, and the Fenway. West- and south-facing homes deliver sunset views over the Charles, sailboats on the river, the iconic Citgo sign, and even the 4th of July fireworks. City-facing units frame the Prudential, the Hancock, and Fenway Park. For buyers who value walkable access to shopping, dining, transit, and the riverfront, The Charlesview offers a full-service address in one of Boston's most established neighborhoods.
