This charming Beacon Hill penthouse duplex has been carved out of the top two floors of an unassuming beige brick building.
The owner-architect has created a bright, airy, open contemporary space with an open living/dining area, a double-height master bedroom and a spiral staircase to a loft studio surrounded by a wraparound two-level roof deck. This 1,488-square-foot, two-bedroom corner condo — completely redone including an elevator in 1993 — is available for $1,324,000.
The five-unit building was constructed as apartments in 2002 and has an arched stone entryway and dentil molding along the roof cornice. A brown-and-white marble lobby leads up three flights of carpeted stairs to the unit, which is up an additional flight.
Unit 5 opens into a foyer with wide plank oak floors and a stylish spiral staircase. Straight ahead is a nearly 40-foot long open living/dining area with oak floors, recessed lighting and nine windows that have bull's eye molding and curved oak sills.
The living room has a wood-burning fireplace at one end with a green marble hearth and skylight above, and a side wall of built-in bookcases
The dining area has windows with views of the Charles River, and features a custom designed freestanding curved cabinet with display and storage space and built-in bookshelves.
Off the dining room is a galley kitchen with red tile floors and great views out of the city. There are 18 white cabinets above and below white Formica counters and a built-in with bookshelves above. There are white appliances, a Jenn Air electric stove, a Kitchen Aid dishwasher and an Amana refrigerator.
Off the kitchen is a full bathroom with white ceramic tile floors and wall around a tub/shower and a pedestal sink.
On the other side of the foyer sits a double-height carpeted master bedroom with 17-foot ceilings, recessed lighting and a wall of windows with city views. There are two closets with built-in storage and two large closets on a wall right outside the room.
The en-suite master bathroom has white glass tile floors and walls for a tub shower. But the custom-made curved white fixtures here are excluded.
The spiral staircase leads up to a bright studio space with hardwood floors, six skylights, six windows and two large built-in work tables and bookcases. There are glass doors out to a wraparound deck that has a second level on top of the studio.
Through one corner of the studio is a wood stepladder down to the second carpeted bedroom, which sits on a mezzanine above the master suite.
The unit has a two-zone electric heat and central air-conditioning system.
There is no parking on site, but on-street parking with a residential permit or there is nearby rental parking available.
