Few things in life leave zero regrets, but if you were the future owner of the newly listed 6 Arlington St. #3 in the Back Bay, living here would be a serious contender. As part of the Zero Marlborough condo complex, this full-floor residence has the Boston Public Garden as an adjacent backdrop and sits close to the Commonwealth Mall and Newbury Street. Giving off serious boutique vibes, the Zero Marlborough is part of a pre-war condo conversion (the original structure was built in 1910), and was renovated by its current owner and CAFCO Builders. The result? Exceptional craftsmanship that delivers an elegant design to the space, which is expertly finished and includes beautiful wood and marble flooring.

With a layout that’s perfect for luxury lounging and entertaining (both formal and more intimate get-togethers), the dwelling features: banquet-sized dining and living rooms with dual gas fireplaces to make the most of homeowners’ comfort and their time together with guests; an open-concept kitchen with a wine refrigerator; a a family room ideal for game and movie nights; a powder room; and ample wine storage (a bonus for oenophiles).
