About This Home

East Side penthouse with the largest private roof deck in the building. This top floor unit was professionally customized by an international interior designer in a 2017 new build. Floor to ceiling windows bring in strong natural light, with an open layout connecting the custom kitchen, living area, and private deck. The kitchen includes a built-in coffee bar and high end Thermador appliances. The living space features a gas fireplace with a Nero Marquina marble surround. Custom solid oak wall panels at the entry conceal an 8-foot coat closet. Both full bathrooms have been renovated. The primary includes a steam shower. Both bedrooms fit king size beds. Each unit has a private roof deck, and this one is the largest, with skyline views and real usable space. Deeded heated garage parking with custom storage. Washer and dryer replaced last year. Close to the Seaport, highways, Logan Airport, and top dining. Move in ready.
