Perched atop the Modern II, this sun-drenched, loft-style penthouse offers chic city living in an ultra-convenient location—just 0.2 miles from both the Orange and Green T lines and steps from award-winning restaurants like Mida and Ilona. The chef’s kitchen features gas cooking, generous cabinetry, and a large breakfast bar that flows seamlessly into a spacious living and dining area. Soaring ceilings, exposed ductwork, and a west-facing balcony—perfect for morning coffee or sunset views—enhance the open, airy feel. Additional highlights include ample storage, in-unit laundry, and central A/C for year-round comfort. Built in 2011, the Modern is a luxury elevator building with a welcoming lobby and a stunning rooftop deck complete with a grilling station and panoramic views of Back Bay and the South End.
