About This Home

As of June 2017

Overlooking the coveted Titus Sparrow Park in the South End's 'Coke Bottle' building, this penthouse two bedroom home is rare with three sides of light exposure. This unit basks in the sun from the South and West and has incredible Back Bay views to the North through the living room windows. The gourmet kitchen has Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances with a tiled floor. The master bedroom has three double closets and a Jack and Jill bathroom with a stand up glass shower enclosure and linen closet. There is in-unit laundry and each of the many windows was replaced in 2015 and complimented with custom plantation shutters. A full staircase takes guests conveniently to the private roof deck which offers show-stopping, 360 degree views of the city and beyond. This is an entertainer's showplace with space for dining and relaxing under coming Summer skies. There is such easy access to the amenities of the Back Bay while in the quiet of the South End.
