Back Bay Home of the Week: 172 Beacon St., Unit: PH

This penthouse unit on Beacon Street offers luxurious living right in the heart of the Back Bay.

This penthouse unit on Beacon Street is luxurious Boston living at its finest. Direct elevator access provides entry onto the top floor of this 10-unit building and boasts commanding four-sided views of the Charles River and the city landscape. With 3,240 square feet of living space (not a typo), this spectacular residence also offers an expanded floor plan with period details and exquisite decor that would be admired in any design magazine.

Each of the eight rooms within this penthouse reflects its elegant historic background and period architecture. The impressive living room spans the full width of the building for seamless entertaining and includes built-ins, an exposed beamed ceiling, oversized windows and a lovely fireplace with an ornate mantel. The formal dining area is drenched with rich cranberry walls that envelop its guests within its soothing tones and the surprisingly large state-of-the-art kitchen offers all the necessary and premier ingredients to prepare those elaborate meals (including a butler's pantry) and opens into a fabulous family room. The two generously sized bedrooms provide an added layer of sophistication and brilliance as well as the two and a half deluxe baths.

This lavish unit also comes with premier amenities, including full-service resident assistance, an amazing common roof deck, an exclusive parking space and supplemental private storage. Virtually every facet of this penthouse supports an extravagant lifestyle, which is exactly what one would expect from one of the most renowned streets in the city. If sophistication and period styling is on the residential menu, this property is a ten-course meal.
