About This Home

As of May 2019

Perched high above the houses around you and surrounded by sunlight and expansive views, you feel like you are the king or queen of your castle. This exceptional penthouse in Harvard Sq. is both elegant & hip! After ascending a private stair, it greets you with a space so light and bright it makes you smile. There are skylights everywhere, high ceilings, elegant rooms, and 2 pretty fireplaces. Standing in the bay of the living room you can look through the trees and see the Charles River or marvel at the spectacular sunsets. Conversely, in the master suite with its vast walk-in closet and big bathroom, you can watch the sun come up over the neighboring rooftops. With 2 more bedrooms, a beautiful dining room, a light-filled kitchen, an additional space with a full bathroom at the lower level (perfect for a home office or exercise room), and 1 parking space, your castle is complete. So come by, take in the views and the light, and let 36 Hawthorn St. #3 make you smile.
