About this home

Once in a lifetime opportunity to own a Penthouse with a magnificent 950+ sq ft private deck and panoramic views. Imagine mornings that begin with coffee as the Boston skyline awakens before you, and evenings that end with glowing sunsets over Cambridge. Inside, walls of glass keep you connected to the sky, filling every room with light and sweeping vistas. With 2 bedrooms, a spacious bath, hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, garage parking, and private storage, this Penthouse is both polished and well-appointed. The pet-friendly building has seen important updates, including a new roof, while the sellers went a step further and replaced the entire deck in 2024. The common areas are next on the list, and the sellers are open to help defray the cost of a future assessment. Just behind Central Sq, you’re moments from MIT, Harvard, Whole Foods, cafés & the Red Line. And at the end of the day, it all comes back to that extraordinary private deck and the views that make this a magical spot.
