    What's special

    Perched high above Broadway and Elm, this bright + airy 2-bed, 2-bath floor-through penthouse offers a warm retreat from the nearby bustle. Keep the car in your attached heated garage and explore nearby Central, Kendall and Inman by bike or foot. The expansive open plan features high ceilings with not two, but three skylights, maximizing sunny days and starry nights, while walls of windows offer unrivaled skyline views. The kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, with plenty of work surfaces and cabinets. Bedrooms at opposite ends offer great privacy for guests, family, roommate or home office. The corner primary bedroom is spacious + offers dual closets and en-suite bathroom with laundry. The 2nd bedroom is also generous with good closet space. A 2nd full bathroom is adjacent to the 2nd bedroom. A balcony off of the living room is perfect for enjoying coffee from across the street at Lamplighter. Thriving walkable neighborhood .3 miles to Central T and just a hop to Whole Foods. Storage.
