About this home
Pull right into your garage parking space and take the elevator right up to the top floor of 950 Mass Ave where upon entering Penthouse 5 you are showered with sunlight from the many skylights and glass doors that overlook the Boston Skyline. Custom cherry cabinetry in living, dining and second bed define the rooms and provide ample storage and display space complete with dimmable lighting ideal for entertaining. Cozy up to the wood-burning fire place in the winter and relax as you'll never need to shovel the sidewalk again as Bay Square is one of Cambridge's most sought after full service buildings. Enjoy carefree living with all of the amenities you need on site such as a 24/7 concierge w/live in superintendent, fitness center with sauna, heated outdoor pool, and even food with the popular Dumpling House on the street level. Conveniently located between Harvard and Central Squares.
