With fewer high-end listings to choose from in 2024, a propensity for immediate gratification and a general aversion to renovations, it makes sense that buyers are even more likely to seek out a property they can enjoy right away.
In the South End, that looks a lot like the Residences at 566, right on Columbus Avenue at the foot of the Back Bay and near, well, just about everything Boston. Unit 404, a two-bedroom condominium with dedicated garage space in the new development, features its own private bells and whistles plus access to an eye-popping list of amenities that goes far beyond the fitness center and concierge service that have become ubiquitous.
Coming in at just under 1,300 square feet, unit 404 offers a warmer aesthetic than similar high-end developments, with rich wood accents, two-tone cabinetry in the kitchen, and integrated, paneled appliances for a sleek look.
With a prime location, shopping, dining, and entertainment are right out the front door but considering what’s available to residents of 566, there may be no need to leave. In addition to a fitness center, naturally, there’s an outdoor gym area and rooftop yoga deck for sunrise sun salutations.
Snag panoramic views of the Boston skyline from the rooftop lounge’s sun deck and outdoor kitchen, dining areas, and gas fireplace. You’ll even find a pet spa, bike storage, and herb garden to add a final flourish when you’re cooking at home.
On the market for $1,600,000, the sale of the condo is represented by Ricardo Rodriguez & Associates at Coldwell Banker, 617-823-0072.
