About this home
Harvard Square's premier address! When you step off the elevator directly into this exquisitely renovated penthouse, you will enjoy the serenity of the elegantly appointed yet eminently livable surroundings, and will appreciate the thoughtful personal attention and meticulous detail throughout. The open living and dining room has the warmth of cherry custom cabinetry, a fireplace, and wall of windows overlooking the Charles River and Harvard's buildings beyond. The sleek, white Poggenpohl kitchen, with top-of-the-line appliances, has a generously-sized island and counters of Caesarstone. The master suite was designed for comfort with its fireplace, TV, custom cabinetry, dressing room, and luscious en suite bath; the two additional bedrooms have bathrooms en suite. A private terrace with lighting and irrigation is accessed from the living area or the mr bedroom. A smart house; an exceptional sound system; garage; access to hotel, health and spa amenities. A full-service building.
