See inside the Raffles unit listed for $35k a month

The home, three condo units combined and customized, features stunning views of the Back Bay and Charles River through floor-to-ceiling glass.

Think your rent is sky-high? At $35,000, the new monthly tab for 430 Stuart St., Residence 23C, takes that term to a whole new level— 23 stories above Back Bay, that is.

The three-bed, 2.5-bath luxury unit in the Raffles Boston Residences belongs to one of the building’s developers and is available for rent.

“He purchased three units and he customized them,” said Manuel Davis, sales director for Raffles Residences Boston. “He and his wife built this home because there was a really rare opportunity presented to all of our clients at the very beginning where you can combine multiple homes and customize the floor plan by working with our architectural team. It’s the only condo in the building outside of the penthouse collection that has penthouse finishes.”

The residential entrance is on Stuart Street and leads into a lobby featuring tall wooden front doors. Inside, you’ll find chevron-pattern wood flooring, hand-inlaid Paulownia wood wall covering, and light suede wall paneling.

On the 23rd floor, Residence 23C is a 3,100-square-foot corner home that welcomes guests in an elegant foyer that faces north and features tray lighting and a coffered ceiling. Stained oak engineered wood floors lead into the joint living and dining area, which feature stunning views of the Back Bay and Charles River from the walls of floor-to-ceiling glass. The living area flows seamlessly into the formal dining area, ideal for entertaining guests.

In the kitchen, a 10-foot Didima marble island holds court amid walnut cabinets, a waterfall edge, and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. A breakfast nook to the left is perfect for busy mornings, while opacity and blackout blinds can keep out the heavy sun.

Next door is the third bedroom, which currently functions as a study. It features a private terrace for enjoying the stunning views of the Charles from the 23rd floor. The guest bedroom is next to that, as is a laundry room with a secondary service entrance nearby that offers access to the mudroom.

On the other side of the home at Raffles Boston Residences, you’ll find the primary bedroom, equipped with two walk-in closets with Avera systems. The primary bath features a standalone Wetstyle tub, dual vanities, and a water closet. Boasting floor-to-ceiling marble with radiant heat floors, it also has a customized shower stall with a marble bench, as well as dual vanities.

The home features a custom HVAC system.

In addition to the luxurious amenities inside the unit, residents have access to 5 resident-exclusive amenity spaces on the 21st floor, including a secret garden, library, terrace, sports lounge with a poker table, golf simulator, and pool table, a tasting kitchen and wine lounge, and a private dining room. Residents can also tap into many of the hotel’s amenities, including a spa, fitness center, 20-meter indoor pool, and six different food and beverage options.

Got a dog? There’s a pet spa and indoor run on the 20th floor.
