29 Lawrence Street | South End. Set on one of the South End’s most picturesque streets, 29 Lawrence Street is a beautifully updated single-family home offering approximately 2,272 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and exceptional private outdoor space. Behind its classic brick façade, the home pairs timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates across multiple levels. The gracious living and dining level is filled with natural light and accented by hardwood floors, crown molding, wainscoting, and an elegant marble fireplace, creating a warm and sophisticated setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen features custom cabinetry, stone countertops, a generous center island, and premium appliances including a Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigeration. One of the home’s most special features is its connection to the outdoors. A charming private patio offers a leafy urban retreat for dining, entertaining, or quiet mornings, while the roof deck provides an entirely different experience above the city, with impressive views of the Back Bay skyline. Three bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office, complemented by two full baths and a powder room. Central air, abundant storage, hardwood flooring, and carefully considered updates add comfort and ease while preserving the character that makes a South End townhouse so distinctive. Located in the coveted Golden Triangle, 29 Lawrence offers the rare combination of a true single-family residence, substantial private outdoor space, and a premier South End address. Just moments from the neighborhood’s celebrated restaurants, cafés, boutiques, parks, and the conveniences of Back Bay, this is quintessential Boston city living—historic, sophisticated, and remarkably livable.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,272 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 990 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
