    What's special

    This dramatic two-level penthouse condo is perched high on Spring Hill at the end of a quiet tree-lined private way near Porter Square. The home's grand scale coupled with private entry offers single-family style living. The main level features a south-facing open floor plan comprising living, dining and kitchen all of which are flanked by a wall of french doors and oversized windows flooding the space with natural light and showcasing seamless treetop views across the City and breathtaking sunsets. The balcony stretches more than 23 feet! A bonus family room (or convertible 4th bedroom) and en-suite bedroom add bonus utility to the space. The third floor offers two large en-suite bedrooms, including the master suite with soaring cathedral ceilings, a sprawling layout, abundance of closet space, skylight and spa-like bathroom with soaking tub, separate shower and double vanity. Amenities include laundry, garage + off-street parking, mudroom and patio + garden. Close to Red Line T.
