South End brownstone dating from 1890s reborn as midcentury modern

The 2,117-square-foot brownstone at 20 Lawrence Street where the South End meets Back Bay dates from the early 1890s, but it was redesigned in the midcentury modern style.

A steel staircase running to four of the house’s five levels is the main attraction, but 20 Lawrence also includes plenty of other structural touches, including more black steel and oak hardwood.

The three-bedroom, two-and-half-bathroom is on sale through In Realty for $2.4 million. Have a look around.
