About this home
There is no other address in Boston like this top-floor penthouse: a private rooftop cupola with 360° downtown skyline views, atop an 1893 Colonial Revival estate landmark fully reimagined in a 2026 gut renovation, three miles from downtown. Unit 3 rises five levels to 613 SF of private outdoor space - a 353 SF roof deck, a 110 SF octagonal cupola, and two private balconies - an outdoor sequence no Boston condominium at any price offers. 2,430 SF, 3 all-ensuite bedrooms, plus a library/office.Brown Fenollosa Architects designed the five-level configuration; Webb Structural Engineering’s comprehensive structural rehabilitation - executed from rooftop deck to new foundation footings - introduces the full strength of modern structural engineering into a building whose Colonial Revival exterior remains intact. A RESNET-certified HERS score of 65, roughly half the energy use of a typical resale home, backed by Panasonic ERV and 3-zone HVAC systems with ductless heat pumps.Cambridge new construction occasionally includes a roof deck, but none pair it with a cupola and full skyline views. Elfa closets throughout and a primary double vanity; the kitchen pairs Wolf and Bosch appliances, finished in quartz. Access to the shared Olmsted-designed estate gardens with fire pit terrace below and an exclusive-use outdoor patio with direct access to deeded garage.It is a genuine smart home too: dual HDR video doorbells, AI-monitored Nest Cam floodlights, Schlage Encode Plus locksets with Apple Home Key tap-to-unlock, and zoned Nest Learning Thermostats. A detached garage plus a deeded surface space - most Boston condominiums at this price offer one spot or none. Just 10 minutes to the Longwood Medical Area, a fraction of the distance from Back Bay, Brookline, Newton, or Cambridge.

Jamaica Central-South Sumner, located between Jamaica Plain and Roxbury, is a residential and transit-linked Boston neighborhood with triple-decker streetscapes and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Jackson Square area at Centre Street and Columbus Avenue, where storefronts, murals, and MBTA entrances set a steady, street-level rhythm. Brick rowhouses mix with wood-frame homes, and small community gardens break up the blocks. The Southwest Corridor Park path and nearby Franklin Park edges shape daily routines on foot and bike. Cultural anchors such as Hibernian Hall, the Brewery Complex, and the Franklin Park Zoo add a distinctly local cadence.
