People often stroll down the streets of Back Bay wondering what’s behind those glorious front entrances. They have visions of high ceilings, old world grandeur, and breathy elegance.
Frequently, they aren’t disappointed. I have seen a lot of Boston homes but, these glorious spaces still stun me at times.

Look at these Back Bay units that include the parlor level.
