South End, Boston
Victorian Rowhouse Renovation in the South End
The South End is the largest Victorian rowhouse district in the country, and its bowfront brick facades and parlor-level proportions are some of our favorite work. We renovate inside these homes for the way people live now without flattening the detail that makes them worth the address. Our Chandler Street penthouse sits right in the heart of it.
How We Work in South End
Local knowledge, built in.
Every exterior change here runs through the South End Landmark District Commission, which reviews stoops, brownstone trim, windows, and ironwork before a permit gets issued. We handle that review and protect the facade, then take the interiors down to what they need and rebuild them fully modern behind the historic envelope.

What a South End project costs
A South End rowhouse renovation generally starts in the mid six figures and rises with the detail and the Landmark review the district carries. Protecting the bowfront, the trim, and the parlor-level proportions while the interior goes fully modern is what shapes the number. We fold the facade protection and the commission review into the scope, so the budget reflects the whole project, not just the rooms.

03 Can Cityside open up a South End parlor floor?
Yes. We reconfigure parlor-level and upper floors for modern living while keeping the proportions and detail that define a South End home. The historic envelope stays, the interior works the way you actually live.
