The luxe two-bed, two-bath duplex penthouse in the South End belonging to Lilli Gordon, founder and CEO of First Aid Beauty, has been listed for $2,950,000. At that price, it’s one of the most expensive two-bedroom units on the market in the neighborhood.
Located at Laconia Lofts, a stylish building at 1200 Washington St., PH504 is a 2,400-square-foot space on the fifth and sixth floors. Recently redesigned by Wolf In Sheep Design, it welcomes guests in a stunning foyer filled with custom walls, golden inlay and stone. The elegance continues into a grand living area drenched in sunshine, thanks to a wall of windows, a glass door, and an 18-foot ceiling with four massive skylights. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the room, while the door opens to the private 400-square-foot terrace that faces downtown Boston, with a view of the Back Bay to the left.
Back inside, the bespoke kitchen features flat-front walnut cabinetry paired with travertine marble for the flooring, countertops, and backsplash. Bar seating provides great space for entertaining, but there’s also an elegant dining area surrounded by walnut built-ins for storing wine. The second bedroom and bathroom are also on the first floor.
Upstairs, a mezzanine office area is ideal for working from home. The spacious loft-style primary bedroom suite features a custom Molteni Italian built-in wardrobe, and the primary bathroom is wrapped in Calcutta bluette and Nero marquina marble, a custom vanity with a quartz countertop, and a deep freestanding tub.
“It’s truly that marriage between loft-style living and more traditional-style living,” said the listing agent, Ricardo Rodriguez of Ricardo Rodriguez & Associates at Coldwell Banker Realty.
In addition to the terrace, the home has exclusive access to a roof deck that’s reachable by elevator. The penthouse also comes with two garage parking spaces.
