Property Description

A masterpiece in the sky. This corner penthouse in a boutique elevator building offers sweeping downtown skyline and South End brownstone views. Completely reimagined in 2023, the residence blends refined luxury with modern comfort. Walls of oversized windows bathe the home in natural light, highlighting 10-ft ceilings and wide-plank white oak floors. The chef’s kitchen showcases designer cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Miele induction cooktop and oven, bespoke wine display, and touchless faucets. A book matched marble fireplace surround with bench seating anchors the living space. Spa-inspired baths feature a Thermosol steam shower, soaking tub, heated floors, and towel bars. Smart home upgrades include Ecobee thermostats, Lutron Roman shades, and full security system. California Closets provide tailored storage, and a new AC/heat pump ensures year-round comfort. With custom chandeliers and Jeffries silk wallcoverings, this penthouse defines modern South End perfection.
