The conveniences of city living and Boston’s historic charm seamlessly meld at the famous Burrage Mansion, with the 314 Commonwealth Avenue penthouse as the crowning jewel. A gorgeous white stone facade and jaw-dropping lobby complete with stained glass windows lead the way to this sprawling 4,758-square-foot condo bathed in natural light. The unit’s open floor plan allows the minimalist design to shine. The real star of the show? The expansive rooftop deck with a gas grill, hot tub and direct access to the generously sized primary suite. Your urban oasis awaits!
