Property Description

For Sale - Active
Units n/a

Have you ever looked up above the amazing shops in the South End and wondered who lived up there? The penthouse above Formaggio Kitchen doesn’t disappoint and the private roof deck is something to see in person. You have Franklin Cafe, The Buttery, PolkaDog Bakery, Parkside Bookshop and Coppa all on the same block! This floor-thru condo lives more like a single family house with a huge kitchen, tall ceilings and big windows for fantastic natural light. The second bedroom is your quintessential office and eventual nursery. The living and dining rooms are spacious with plenty of space for seating and entertaining. The primary bedroom is south facing. The kitchen is larger than most in the South End. The real showstopper is the 336 SF exclusive use roof deck. Other items to note are central air conditioning, forced hot air heating and in-unit laundry. Both the condo and building have been well-maintained and are professionally managed.
