About this home

You'll feel instantly relaxed and comforted in this Parisian Chic penthouse at the top of Chestnut Street, Beacon Hill. Only minutes to Charles Street offering you some of the best restaurants in the city, plus a variety of shops adding to the neighborhood experience. Step into the elevator and smile after a long day, then open the door to a cathedral beam ceiling residence with an original oval mansard skylight, drenching you with warm sunlight. Enjoy the single level open floor plan, while cooking with friends around the kitchen island watching the sunset. Eat dinner on the custom built-in table by the row of new windows with views of Midtown, Back Bay and beyond. All the recent upgrades from the masterfully designed kitchen to the steam shower will have you calling this home for many years to come!
