NEW HEIGHTS IN THE SOUTH END
The real estate definition of “penthouse” has shifted to include just about any topfloor dwelling, but for the rest of us, when we think “penthouse,” we think of elevated — and not just in height.
Located in Atelier 505, a luxury building in the heart of the South End, Unit 904 at 505 Tremont St. meets both the technical and the aspirational criteria for penthouse.
The residence — an expansive, light-filled, refined three-bedroom condo at the tippy-top of the full-service building — is on the market for $5,250,000. Included are two garage parking spaces and access to the building’s upscale amenities which include a clubhouse, fitness area and 24-hour concierge service.
Featuring walls of glass thanks to sets of double-height windows under extra-tall ceilings, the residence enjoys a bright southern exposure from the open layout of the living and dining room. An elegant renovation highlights a birdseye maple wall of storage enveloping a sleek gas fireplace in the living room, with uninterrupted views of the city below. This grand entertaining space is augmented by the impressive walk-out terrace.
Although Atelier 505 is seconds away from the South End’s best dining spots, epicureans will love the chef’s kitchen, clad in custom cabinetry and Norwegian granite counters, in addition to an adjoining pantry.
Three bedrooms complete the penthouse, with one converted into a library and home office space that’s the stuff of design dreams. Double height windows with panoramic views and a luxe en-suite bath in the primary suite set it apart as a peaceful refuge at the end of the day.
