Boston’s assorted building height rules mean that there aren’t too many views from a 28th floor to be had in town. That is, unless you’re the lucky new resident of Unit 28B in the Ritz-Carlton Residences located at 1 Avery Street, directly across from Boston Common.
It’s a feast for the eyes from this tall perch — an unparalleled vantage point with limitless views across the Common and looking out over the Back Bay and the Charles River. During the day, you can see the sun sparkle over the water but when the sun sets over the West-facing windows, it’s a glittering panorama of city lights.
Just under 2,700 square feet are at your disposal here, with three bedrooms each with their own en-suite bath plus a bonus half-bath. There’s a sleek open-concept living and dining space with floor-to-ceiling windows, perfect for hosting, as well as a full-size eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar and passthrough to the dining room.
From your home base, Boston’s entertainment districts are all within striking distance for dinner or a show. Fitness buffs have access to the Equinox Sports Club, and all Ritz-Carlton Residences benefit from round-the-clock concierge service, doorman, and valet parking — the unit comes with one garage parking space.
On the market for $4,500,000, the sale of the condo is represented by Morgan Franklin and Assoc. at Coldwell Banker Realty, 617-888-5199.
