SOUTH END SPLENDOR
Right off Tremont Street in the coveted South End, this four-bedroom, four-bath home is a fabulous city find. Located at 141 W. Newton St., the property features high ceilings, large windows, custom built-ins and lots of natural light that floods its 3,457 square feet. Walking through the space, the chef’s kitchen immediately calls out with Sub-Zero, Miele and Wolf appliances. A large center island pulls it all together and smartly hides a wine fridge within the room. Upstairs, homeowners will find two large guest rooms with spacious closets and a full marble bath. The master suite is also on this floor, where the full bath claims the spotlight with marble floors, Ann Sacks tiles and Kallista faucets. The fourth floor is perfect for guests or an au pair with a kitchenette, family room and separate entrance. For views of the city, take the stairs to the roof deck. $4.299 million, The Whaley/ Ring Team: Paul Whaley, 617.460.4238, paulwhaley.com; Charlie Ring, 617.699.2597, charlieringrealestate.com
SEAPORT LIVING
If you’ve ever dreamed of living at The Strada, there’s no time like the present: Residence 813 + 913 is on the market. One of the largest addresses within the Waterfront, North End building, the two-level home roams 3,335 square feet and consists of four bedrooms and four baths—and, of course, includes all of the extra amenities like 24/7 concierge, a gym, two storage units and two valet parking spaces. Upon entering, you’re greeted by a showstopping staircase and foyer that leads to an open-concept home. On the first floor, the kitchen— detailed with Viking and Sub-Zero stainless-steel appliances and black granite countertops—living and dining rooms await. A guest bedroom rounds out the first floor with an en suite bathroom and adjoining den. Ascend the stairs to reach the second level, where the other bedrooms sit. The primary bedroom on this floor is especially spectacular with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views of the harbor and North End. $2.35 million, Lara Shuqom and Loren Larsen, Company at Compass, 617.807.0853, strada813.com

The condo homes are available in one-, two- and three-bedroom designs. For even more luxury living, a premium fourth level features 12 triplex penthouses, some of which have original stained glass windows; the perks include firstfloor gym, sauna, media room, wine refrigerator and office.

DREAMSCAPE
About 30 minutes outside the city sits 62 Carisbrooke Road. The pristine estate is a quintessential New England Colonial and is located in the heart of Wellesley Farms. The six-bedroom, five full- and three-half bath home was originally built in 1938 and still boasts historic charm along with thoughtful modern renovations. Beautiful crown molding and custom hardwood flooring lead guests throughout the 6,688-square-foot home and into standout rooms like the wood-paneled library. From the living room, large French doors provide natural light and lead to the porch that overlooks the grounds and pool area. The chef’s kitchen features an oversize mahogany island and seating area that overlooks the property. On the second floor, four bedrooms await, including the master bedroom. Head to the third floor for two more bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level is perfect for entertaining, thanks to a game room and wet bar. Bonus: Fitness fans will find a large exercise studio. $7.5 million, Debi Benoit, 617.962.9292, benoitrobinsonorourke.com
