3 Bed | 2 Bath | 1,540 Sq. Ft.

There’s something magnetic about the penthouse of 474 Columbus Avenue. Maybe it’s the way the sunlight pours inside through multiple exposures and skylights. Or the stillness you feel as you stand on the roof deck, above the treetops, above the hum of the city. However you experience it, the magic is made tangible through the timeless architectural details and thoughtful renovations that define this home.

Set atop a stately South End brownstone, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath corner unit offers 1,540 square feet of single-level living. Soaring cove ceilings, original mahogany pocket doors, and a working gas fireplace anchor the living space with warmth and charm. At the same time, newer Pella windows, individual HVAC, and in-unit laundry bring all the functionality you’d hope for in a luxury home.

The kitchen is as practical as it is polished — centrally located and open to the living and dining areas, and when the moment calls for outdoor space, nothing compares to this private roof deck. Newly rebuilt in 2024, the space is equipped with gas and water connections. So, whether it’s a summer cookout or a quiet morning coffee with skyline views, it’s yours to enjoy.

The primary suite sits peacefully in the back of the home, with a walk-in closet and ensuite bath. High ceilings throughout mean tons of hidden storage above every closet, while the thoughtful floor plan creates space and privacy between each bedroom. Plus, since the unit is wrapped in windows on three sides every room is filled with light from sunrise to sunset.

It’s South End living at its most quintessential. Across the street: a charming neighborhood park and the South End Food Emporium. Down the block: Petit Robert Bistro, a longtime favorite. Living here puts you in the center of the best this neighborhood has to offer — come explore 474 Columbus Avenue, #4.
