With all the glitzy real estate options popping up all over Boston, you still can’t beat a classic Commonwealth Avenue brownstone as the ultimate real estate showpiece.
Sitting between Fairfield and Exeter, across from the trees and twinkly lights of the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, 222 Commonwealth Avenue is tippy-top to bottom reimagining of this prized location and the penthouse unit is its crowning jewel.
In addition to location bragging rights — and a massive, chic roof deck to look over it all — the three-level penthouse is serviced by a private elevator and a two-car garage. You’ll have square footage that rivals most single-family homes — 4,540 square feet to be exact — thoughtfully laid out with sleeping quarters on the first level, a second level for your dining, living, and entertaining, and a third level with a large den giving access to the roof deck.
Throughout, eye-popping details abound in this latest development from Senné: a sleek fireplace feature in the living room with custom paneling and bronze accents, Restoration Hardware finishes, plus Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and Calcatta Oro marble in the kitchen. Two wet bars, one adjoining the living room and one on the third floor are poised for hosting in style.
On the market for $13,995,000, the sale of the penthouse is represented by William Senné with Senné, 617-775-4655.
