Eastie penthouse ticks all the boxes
Making a dream home checklist can be a lot of fun, even if most buyers end up compromising on some, or even most, of the features they’d enjoy. You may have to sacrifice off-street parking for more square footage, or make do with minimal storage to snag a great location.
With the penthouse at 186-188 Paris St. in East Boston, you won’t have to do much compromising. In fact, Unit 9 checks off so many boxes, you’ll feel like you hit the Boston real estate jackpot.
Unlike other condo developments in the area — the ultra-hot Central Square neighborhood — this one was built in 2016 from the ground up so it’s in like-new condition, with all the bells and whistles you’d expect. The largest unit in the building, the penthouse enjoys a corner location with several distinct advantages to being perched on top.
For one, the home sits among the treetops, with the greenery providing privacy while allowing plenty of light. Second, the unit enjoys a private roof deck with sweeping city views and room to entertain. Even better, that’s not the unit’s only outdoor space: There is a second private deck.
An open concept dining and living area is made up of a sleek kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, modern gray cabinets, and a living room lit by two sliders to the unit’s second deck and gentle recessed lighting.
At slightly more than 1,000 square feet, the unit is thoughtfully divided between living and sleeping quarters. Both bedrooms and bathrooms feel roomy, not cramped. The master bedroom features an ensuite bathroom with giant walk-in shower, as well as a walk-in custom closet.
Walking distance to the T (and a heated garage parking space) make this home supremely convenient in a neighborhood that is teeming with small businesses and restaurants.
Open house hours are from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday.
The sale of the home, offered at $688,000, is being handled by Meg Macumber at Home Town Brokerage, 617-548-8989.
