Featuring its own skyline-view roof deck plus parking, this penthouse duplex sits on picturesque Claremont Park, a quiet tree-lined block of handsome restored townhouses well located near the border between the South End and Back Bay. Newly refinished, this sunlit 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence has airy bowfront windows, gleaming hardwood floors, beautiful period details, and 2-zone heating/cooling. Overlooking the treetops and streetscape, the spacious bowfront great room has an inviting marble fireplace. For easy living and entertaining, a granite bar counter separates the open kitchen. Off the great room is a versatile bedroom that can double as a study. The primary bedroom suite includes a separate office area and walk-in closet. Professionally managed, 1-3 Claremont Park has a rich history as the former home and music academy of Anna Bobbitt Gardner, who had a great impact on the arts in Boston and was the first Black woman to earn a B.A. from New England Conservatory of Music.
