A trophy 3-bedroom penthouse has recently hit the market in Boston’s vibrant South End, the city’s most walkable, picturesque neighborhood.
Priced at a cool $6,199,000, the nearly 3,000-square-foot residence sits in the landmark Laconia Lofts building at 1200 Washington Street, in the heart of Boston’s bustling SoWa district.
And it comes with beautiful skyline views, impeccable interiors, designer finishes, a wrap-around balcony and plenty of outdoor space, and smart home tech (like built-in speakers and fully automated Lutron shades).

Set at 1200 Washington Street, in the heart of the South End
Recently listed for $6,199,000 with Johnny Hatem Jr. and and George Sarkis of The Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman, the penthouse unit is the most impressive offering at the Laconia Lofts — a 99-unit residential building completed in 2000 and located across the street from Peters Park. The location places it next to galleries, boutiques, and some of Boston’s best restaurants.
The trophy penthouse has 3 bedrooms + 1 den and 3 bathrooms
The Laconia Lofts penthouse has 3 bedrooms plus a den, 2 full bathrooms and one half-bathroom, and 2,808 square feet of lofted living space, with an additional 2,400 square feet of outdoor space thanks to a generously sized wrap-around terrace.
Gorgeous views of Boston’s skyline
The Boston skyline unfolds beyond the towering windows of the main living area, with the terrace right outside its glass doors offering a front-row seat to enjoy vistas of the city’s landmarks.
A glass-enclosed living area with soaring ceilings
The home was designed by Sea-Dar in 2011, with a special focus on the soaring living area with 18-foot ceilings, surrounded by walls of glass that flood the space with natural light.
A modern white kitchen
Boasting a minimalist design, the modern kitchen has high-end appliances and finishes, with brands like Miele and Hestan bringing the price up alongside other exclusive features like Italian Pantano marble (used in the bathrooms).
With a charming dining room right next to it
A dedicated dining area with city views sits right by the kitchen, away from the living area.
An elegant staircase leading to the lofted area
A floating staircase provides access to the upper level, as well as to the penthouse’s expansive roof deck.
A den with hand-painted wallpaper
Another standout space of the luxe Boston home is the den/media room, which features a gas fireplace and a highly detailed, hand-painted wallpaper.
A soundproof primary bedroom
Out of the three bedrooms, the primary suite has the most unique feature: it’s been soundproofed to invite rest and relaxation.
A wrap-around balcony to take in the views
With a total of 2,400 square feet of outdoor living space, the Boston penthouse has a wrap-around terrace with a firepit and outdoor kitchen, as well as a roof terrace, all enjoying million-dollar views of the city’s skyline.
Smart home tech & other standout features
The Boston home‘s tech stack includes a 5.1 surround sound theater and fully automated Lutron shades, with other standout features ranging from radiant heated floors to a custom 500-pound Krieger front door, temperature-controlled wine storage, and EV charger-approved parking.
One of 99 units at the Laconia Lofts
While there are close to 100 units at the Laconia Lofts, only one other condo is up for grabs in the ideally located building, that one being priced at $3,379,000.
It’s also worth noting that each unit has its unique style and finishes, as Boston Lofts reports that the condos were originally sold unfinished, each completed later on to suit their new owners’ tastes — meaning it’s unlikely to find another apartment at this address with such quality finishes.
