Rarely does a home offer the perfect symmetry of sparkling water views and a secluded garden retreat. This Eastside two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse is uniquely located downslope from Thomas Park and offers a "double-exposure" lifestyle. To the front, enjoy a private balcony off the primary suite with views stretching across the bay. To the rear, escape to a spacious deck off the living area with a rare view of greenery and an expansive garden. Inside, the updated home provides a two-story floor plan, central air conditioning, hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, and a fireplace. Just steps from the beach, parks, and South Boston’s top dining, this is a sanctuary in the heart of the city.
