About this home
PARRIS LANDING | PRIVATE ROOF DECK & HARBOR VIEWS -- This two-bedroom-plus-loft penthouse in Charlestown Navy Yard rises across three levels to a private roof deck, where panoramic views of Boston Harbor and the city skyline unfold. The open kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and gas cooking, and the top-floor loft doubles gracefully as a third bedroom or home office. Life at Parris Landing extends well beyond the home: 24-hour concierge, club and conference centers, a billiards room, a fitness center, and an outdoor heated pool with a BBQ area, all set within landscaped grounds anchored by a sculpture from architect Philippe Starck. A water shuttle connects residents to the Financial District, while I-93, I-90, and Route 1 allow convenient access into and beyond Boston. Enjoy local restaurants, live music venues, and the Harbor Walk in a neighborhood built for both quiet mornings and lively evenings. ONE SELF-PARK GARAGE SPACE IS INCLUDED, and pets are considered.
