Here’s your chance to own a South Boston condo with a retractable sun roof
Yes, you read correctly.
141 Dorchester Avenue, Unit PHB has not one, but two roof deck patios, and you can just take off the roof when you’re inside.
With the touch of a button, the giant skylight windows above the living/dining area of this three-bedroom, three-bathroom unit can be drawn back almost completely.
“It is the only one like this I have ever seen anywhere,” listing agent Sarah Plant said. “You get it when you finally see it.”
The windows take about three to five minutes to open. If you are worried about bugs getting in, the previous owner installed a $30,000 screen that can be drawn across the open ceiling.
The 3,195-square-foot condo, “open concept” in the most literal sense, is listed for $2,695,000.
Not only does this ceiling window provide a ton of natural light inside, so do the other massive windows in every room, including one in the kitchen right above the sink.
See inside 141 Dorchester Avenue, Unit PHB:
“The kitchen has two of everything,” Plant said. It has two fridges and even two dishwashers. It also has a wet bar and a wine fridge.
The master bedroom is filled with natural light and a view of Boston’s skyline. It has a large bathroom with a big shower and bathtub. The closet has been redesigned, perfect for anyone who loves storage space.
Walk up a small staircase to the roof deck above the unit. From one side you can see all the way to the water in Dorchester and even over to Fort Point. If you go around to the other patio area on the other side, over the master bedroom, you can see the entire Boston skyline.
Other building amenities include an outdoor heated lap pool, grilling areas, a gym, and a meeting room — all of which are shared with the building next door at 9 Broadway.
