Loft-like two bedroom penthouse with exceptionally high ceilings (nearly 12 feet!) and an open layout in a classic South End townhouse. The well-designed floor plan with hardwood floors throughout is filled with sun. The stylish kitchen features vented cooking, a Bosch dishwasher, ice-maker and a breakfast bar for stools. The dining area has a bay window and banquette for plenty of seating and the very large living room has soaring vaulted ceilings and skylights. The two bedrooms have substantial closets and dramatic views of the Back Bay skyline and sunsets. The brightly updated bathroom has a sleek vanity with great storage and large but-in medicine chest mirrors. There is comfortable hot water baseboard heat and central air-conditioning. The new common Samsung washer and vented dryer is normally shared with only one other owner (two of the four units have private laundry). Charming and well-maintained common areas and a fully owner-occupied building complete this lovely home
