The updated kitchen features a breakfast bar and abundant storage. The spacious primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a renovated en suite bath featuring a double vanity, frameless glass shower, and soaking tub. Crowning the home is a spectacular PRIVATE ROOF DECK with sweeping 360-degree views of the Boston skyline, Harbor, Monument, and beyond.
