In an 1886 residential building designed by McKim, Mead, and White, prominent architects at the turn of the 20th century responsible for the design of the Boston Public Library, a two-story penthouse is on the market for just under $4.6 million.
The entrance to the condominium includes a skylight and a curved staircase with contemporary details. After opening to a spacious dining area with built-in storage, the first floor features a clean-lined kitchen and leads into a living room, where a stone fireplace becomes the focal point. Throughout the home, flooring is made of reclaimed, antique French oak, and Blue Heaven stone from Belgium. The unit includes a patio on each floor, and a two-car garage.
“I don’t think that this home’s sense of light and openness can be captured by the pictures,” says listing agent Lois Kunian. “The light oak floors, set in a herringbone pattern, make for a very airy, spacious home, and the entryway skylight adds to the feeling.”
