The place

A furnished two-bedroom penthouse near Wellesley Station.

The history

The 10-storey building was completed in 1997. The owner bought this unit in 2009, then completely renovated the kitchen and installed five-inch maple plank hardwood flooring. He recently moved out, and now he’s looking for a tenant for October 1.

Major perks

Fourteen-foot ceilings and a built-in sound system in the living area make this place great for entertaining. And the master bedroom comes with its own private Juliet balcony:
