Waterfront penthouse enjoys sweeping Boston views
A magnificent three-bedroom penthouse at the Residences at the InterContinental, 500 Atlantic Ave., is offered for sale for $2.649 million, listed by Dinny Herron, sales director for Otis & Ahearn Real Estate at the InterContinental.
This spacious home on a corner of the 20th floor is designed for entertaining, and the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Atlantic Avenue offer fabulous views of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, Boston Harbor and Downtown.
The living room itself is a grand space, 29 feet wide with a 10-foot-high ceiling and beautiful walnut-stained flooring.
The kitchen is directly opposite the entry foyer, but there is another doorway from the living room.
The large kitchen is beautifully furnished with Café Granito counters and a matching backsplash, custom-made cabinetry and high-end appliances, including a Wolf gas range.
Next to the stainless steel Sub-Zero refrigerator is a full-size wine refrigerator.
A breakfast area lies in front of the window.
The eat-in kitchen is an absolute delight with high-end appliances, granite counters and custom cabinetry.
The private rooms are located off a gallery, perfect for displaying art. The first of three bedrooms could be used as a study or media room. Next to it is the second bedroom with an en suite bath with a soaking tub.
The master bedroom with an en suite limestone bath occupies a considerable portion of this residence, and it features two huge walk-in closets.
The master bath is luxurious with both a soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower and a double vanity.
Opposite the bedrooms are a separate guest bathroom with a shower, a powder room and a utility closet with a side-by-side Asko washer and dryer.
Next to the foyer is a large coat closet.
The Rose Kennedy Greenway’s Wharf District Parks are among the views from the penthouse.
