Offering a remarkable living experience high above the bustling streets of Boston, a two-story penthouse known as the "penthouse in the sky" has been listed for an astonishing $9.95 million. The property's distinctive characteristics, including its sweeping city views and generous outdoor spaces, grant perspective owners a rare glimpse into a life of luxury and elegance in the heart of the city.
Located at 221 Columbus Ave., Unit 800, the 3,378 square foot residence sits between the borders of the South End and Back Bay neighborhoods. The property owners have chosen to part ways with this exclusive home after deciding it was time for a change, according to Colleen Coopersmith of Cort Petrocelli Coopersmith Group, one of the listing agents responsible for the penthouse as reported in The Boston Globe.

With a history dating back to 1899, the building which houses this extraordinary penthouse is known as the Albert Pope Building. Having served as a bicycle factory for manufacturer Albert Pope, it later became a site of commercial and residential development. In 1998, the building's loft-style condos were created by Heath Properties, and according to Boston.com, it now contains 25 residences that perfectly blend traditional and modern design elements.
Prospective owners stepping into the penthouse can expect to be enveloped in the nearly 3,400 square feet of interior living space as well as approximately 2,725 square feet of lavish outdoor terrace space, per its Zillow listing. The interior boasts a seamless connection between rooms on the first floor, the foyer, living room, kitchen, and formal and informal dining spaces, with the terrace providing additional space for leisure and relaxation.
On the second floor, the penthouse includes two large bedrooms, a full bath, and a primary bedroom attached to a full bath and considerably large walk-in closet. All three bedrooms feature terrace access, which can serve as additional living or work spaces.
Additional amenities include central air, a heat pump, and fireplaces in both the living room and primary bedroom. Modern conveniences, such as concierge service, homeowners' association fees, and complimentary garage parking is offered to residents. The penthouse, which has seen only two owners since its development, now awaits its next discerning owner and promises a piece of the sky amid the vibrant urban atmosphere of Boston.
