Perched above one of Boston’s most storied neighborhoods, this stunning penthouse duplex presents a rare opportunity to own a true home in the sky in the heartbeat of Beacon Hill. Spanning 1,856 square feet with three bedrooms, a private office & two and a half baths, the residence was extensively renovated in 2020/2021, thoughtfully balancing the character and warmth of Beacon Hill with the comforts of modern living. Warm, European inspired details and custom finishes lend a distinctive sense of character throughout, while the thoughtfully designed layout creates the space, flow, and separation of a single family home. The main living level is designed for gathering and entertaining, with an open flow connecting the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. A Montigo fireplace with a built in entertainment area anchors the living room, while the beautifully appointed kitchen features custom cabinetry, Cristallo quartzite countertops, an ILVE range, and a custom designed statement hood. A private office with built in Murphy bed adds exceptional flexibility. The bedroom level offers a sense of privacy and retreat, highlighted by an expansive primary suite filled with natural light and complete with an ensuite bath and beautifully outfitted walk in closet. An additional upper level seating area leads to the private roof deck, where sweeping views of the Boston skyline and iconic Massachusetts State House create an unforgettable backdrop. A deeded basement storage unit and nearby garage rental parking further enhance the offering. Ideally situated within easy walking distance of Charles Street, MGH, Whole Foods, Government Center, and the Financial District, this exceptional penthouse offers effortless access to Beacon Hill’s renowned dining, cultural institutions, and green spaces capturing the character, warmth, and sophistication of Boston living at its best.
