This $6.2 Million Boston Penthouse Has a Soundproof Primary Suite

From Blackstone Square to Fenway Park, Boston’s South End is home to a number of historic sites and attractions. Row houses and modern mid-rises also dot the area, including Laconia Lofts, a five-story landmark building where a modern penthouse has been added to the market with a $6.19 million price tag. Aside from its impressive skyline and baseball stadium views, the trophy unit includes a host of unique features that range from hand-painted wallpaper to vintage teak built-ins to radiant heated floors. Johnny Hatem Jr. of The Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman holds the listing. 

Located at 1200 Washington Street, the crown jewel sits across the street from Peter’s Park, a five-acre green space in the heart of the South End. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are factored into the home’s 2,808 square feet of living space. Residents also have access to its more than 2,400-square-foot exterior with impressive Beantown views.

Tall windows sit beneath 18-foot ceilings that fill the home with natural light, alongside contrasting hardwood and stone floors. The home’s modern appeal is immediately noticeable from the main living area, where open-tread floating staircases ascend to its upper levels. In addition to the airy dining room, a minimalistic kitchen sits under a box structure that contains one of the rooms on the second floor. 

The nearby den is one of the penthouse’s most unique spaces, given its blue and white hand-painted Japanese wallpaper that mirrors a mountainous landscape. A wood-paneled entertainment center is featured above a linear fireplace on the opposite side of the room, which also includes a wet bar and a wine fridge. The room has access to a wrap-around roof deck, too, with alcove seating and benches made from Brazilian IPE hardwood. Plus, there’s the stunning view. 

Elsewhere, the primary bedroom offers peak serenity after hours thanks to its soundproof design. The spa-like en-suite features an oval-shaped soaking tub and dual sinks with a luxe Italian Pantano marble backsplash. Other amenities that complement the penthouse’s stylish design include a 5.1 surround-sound theater and mini-home gym. Lutron shades and hidden in-wall speakers throughout amplify the offerings.
