Sunlight pours through numerous skylights, creating a bright and uplifting atmosphere throughout. Expansive living spaces flow effortlessly for elegant entertaining or quiet retreat above the city. Step outside to your private rooftop deck and take in sweeping skyline views—an extraordinary setting for morning coffee, sunset gatherings, or evenings under the stars. Complete with private parking and set within a beautifully maintained, professionally managed building, this is a unique opportunity to own a penthouse in one of Boston’s most coveted neighborhoods.
