Distinctive parlor duplex at The Penmark, an architecturally significant South End residence thoughtfully converted from the historic Boston College High School. A semi-private entrance shared with just one other home gives this 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo an unusual sense of privacy from the moment of arrival. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings and dramatic arched windows define the main level, with leafy views and beautiful natural light adding to the remarkable volume of the space. Reclaimed wide-plank floors, crafted from old barn beams, add warmth and character throughout. The spacious living room flows naturally to a dining area with room for 6, and a recently renovated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, newer stainless appliances and gas cooking. Downstairs, both bedrooms are comfortably removed from the entertaining spaces, including an oversized primary suite with en-suite bath. A renovated second full bath, in-unit laundry, and ample storage complete the lower level. Set on a quiet South End street near neighborhood parks, The Penmark pairs historic architecture with a full-service lifestyle, including concierge services, elevator, fitness center, pet wash area, and elegantly renovated common areas. Garage parking for two cars (tandem) adds the ultimate convenience.
