On a quiet residential street in the South End, this fabulous brownstone is a designer’s dream. Guest room details might include Italian marble wainscoting, French limestone floors, a silver-leaf barrel-vaulted ceiling or a hand-forged iron-and-porcelain washbasin. Common areas are decadent (case in point: roof-deck hot tub); continental breakfast is served in the paneled dining room and butler’s pantry.
