Classic & Beauty at 285 Columbus

Originally built in 1924, this eight story property has been rehabilitated by the Boston Residential Group, the same developers of the highly sought after 360 Newbury St. properties. Located on the cusp of the Back Bay and South End, the 285 Columbus Lofts condos highlight high-end features and fittings in a building that is uniquely Boston. This brick building is in the classic revival style and is convenient to all the amenities of historic Boston. It also offers some of the best views of the neighborhood, especially from the rooftop deck.

There are 63 lofts located in the 285 Columbus Lofts property available in three different styles ranging from 753 to 1579 square feet. These three floor plans are available in any of four different views. The first style of loft is a one bedroom, one bathroom unit, and they range between 750 and 900 square feet. The second type of these Boston condominiums is a one bedroom plus a study and two bathrooms or a two bedroom, two bathroom loft, which range from 1000 to 1300 square feet. The third style of luxury Boston condo is a two bedroom, two bathroom and a study unit which are upward of 1500 square feet. Only one of these types of units is available per floor of the building.

Depending on the unit and the floor it is on, some of the available views are: of Clarendon Street and Columbus Avenue and the South End, or over the Back Bay T Stop.

Each loft in this building has been fitted with the most luxurious fittings and touches. Dark hardwood floors are throughout; custom made cabinetry by Rosario; high-end kitchen appliances by makers such as Wolf, Jenn-Air and Bosch; and elegant fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms. European finishes such as marble bath countertops and granite kitchen counters add to the luxuriousness of these properties. Each unit comes complete with a laundry hookup, and cable and high-speed internet connections. Each loft has high ceilings and windows, but they offer the privacy of enclosed bedrooms. You can have the feeling of living in a loft but still maintain some privacy.

The building is serviced by two elevators, and there is a 24 hour on-site concierge. Each unit has access to a shared roof deck which has stunning panoramic views of the area, and there is extra storage available on-site. The ground level of this building is home to nearly 10,000 square feet of retail space. As an additional bonus, there is underground parking available.

285 Columbus Lofts are just steps away from public transportation, a high-end fitness center, world-class dining, museums, art galleries and other desirable amenities. Unlike other Boston condos, this building has artfully integrated all the historic value of the building with luxurious and modern lofts.

The 285 Columbus Lofts are ideal for those who want to want to live in luxurious surroundings but who still appreciate the aesthetic value of an historic neighborhood. Step away from the hustle of downtown Boston condos and enter a world of fine living in your own loft in one of the city’s best areas.

The architecture of most Boston apartments ranges all the way from the brick apartments and multifamily homes of Brighton and Allston to the brownstones and luxury condos of Boston’s Back Bay.  Somewhere in the middle of the diverse Boston buildings lies the loft apartment.  Lofts are rare in the Boston area but have been coming to the forefront of hip luxury real estate.  We have compiled a list of advantages to choosing a luxury loft in order to help make your decision a bit easier

1. High ceilings provide an open, spacious atmosphere.

One of the most popular features in a loft apartment is the height of the ceilings.  They allow for an airy environment that is near impossible to recreate in a traditional apartment layout.  The height of the walls creates an opportunity for larger light fixtures and ceiling fans that don’t hug the ceiling.  There is also significantly more wall space for decorating.

2. Natural sunlight will seep through the XL sized windows.

Those high ceilings come with an added benefit: high windows.  Ounces of natural sunlight will pour in to the loft apartment, leaving the space feeling even more Zen and open.  No artificial light has ever been able to recreate the glow of sunlight, and luckily a loft apartment won’t require all that much due to the wall sized windows.
3. You are given complete control of defining the space.
The open floorplan of a loft allows for complete creative control. From dividing the rooms to deciding on a décor theme, a loft apartment is the ultimate blank canvas of architecture. A traditional apartment or house comes with the rooms already defined, leaving very little room for change.

4. Many loft apartments come with rich history and design to match.


While a bare loft may seem quite plain at first glance, many renovated Boston lofts retain some of their original charm.  Exposed bricks and pipes often lend very well to a contemporary décor style with sleek lines and natural materials.  This juxtaposition is quite stunning.  Those same architectural elements match well with rustic, antique styling.

5. Lofts are very, very cool.

Without fail, almost every visitor you have over to your loft will comment on the unique architecture and layout.  Your family and friends will be very impressed with the contemporary, trendy styling.  Lofts are just simply, cool.  If you are looking for a trendy, impressive condo, a loft might be just for you.

If you think a loft apartment might be right for you, don’t hesitate to let us help you find your dream loft.  Contact a Warren Residential Group Agent to schedule a viewing!
