Penthouse living in the heart of the South End’s coveted Eight Streets neighborhood. Bright and inviting, this top-floor 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo offers excellent natural light and a spacious layout, maximizing its 874 square feet. A generous living room and proper dining area is anchored by a gas fireplace and built-in bookshelves/storage while the well-appointed kitchen offers gas cooking, stainless appliances, ample cabinetry, and a center island with counter seating. Two comfortable bedrooms are found in the rear of the home, including a king-sized primary bedroom. The large, updated bath is clad in travertine and includes a full tub and new vanity. Best of all, a full interior staircase leads directly to an expansive private roof deck with incredible 360-degree views, providing an amazing entertaining area. Additional highlights include richly-stained hardwood floors, excellent storage, in-unit laundry, and a brand-new HVAC system. Recent building capital improvements are in progress and paid for by the Seller. Ideally situated in Eight Streets, just moments from Restaurant Row, the shops and restaurants of Shawmut Avenue, and with easy access to Back Bay and downtown.
Shawmut, located between Downtown Crossing and Chinatown, is a historic and commercial Boston neighborhood with a dense street grid and a theater-district pulse. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Washington Street at Kneeland Street, where marquees, late-night eateries, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks in motion. Brick mid-rises and early high-rises frame narrow blocks that shift from office lobbies to stage doors within a few steps. The Wang Theatre and Emerson Colonial Theatre set the cultural tempo, while Shojo anchors the dining scene with a local following. Leather District loft buildings add a warehouse-era texture near South Station. Pocket plazas and transit entrances stitch the area into the larger downtown walk network.
