Panoramic penthouse views

This beautiful penthouse at 25 Channel Center St. in South Boston affords panoramic views from two 20-foot walls of glass in the double-height living room as well as from a private terrace.

The 2,131-square-foot duplex, featuring three bedrooms, three full baths, two garage parking spaces and a custom Poggenpohl kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, is selling for $1.45 million.

Part of the 2004-built 76-unit 25 Channel Center, this stylish condo is on the top two floors of the 12-story building. Adjacent is 35 Channel Center, a 45-unit renovation of a former factory building, which has a separate condo association. The Midway artist building is also located on the block, which is behind A Street between Southie’s West Side and Fort Point neighborhoods.

There’s a well-appointed granite-and-wood lobby at 25 Channel Center with a 24-hour concierge and rotating artwork from local artists. The complex’s units are located off carpeted hallways with overhead lighting

Penthouse Unit 108 opens into a maple-floored foyer with coat closet and a wood staircase with a glass side wall leading up to the second floor.

Straight ahead from the foyer is a large open kitchen/living/dining area. The kitchen features a pendant-lit black granite counter/breakfast bar with custom Poggenpohl white cabinetry, including large side pantry cabinets, one of which holds a built-in espresso machine. Appliances are top-of-the line including a Viking refrigerator and gas stovetop, a stylish Elisa stove hood, two Gaggenau ovens, a Bosch dishwasher and a 144-bottle Sub Zero wine cooler.

The dining room has a floor-to-ceiling travertine limestone surround for a built-in gas fireplace and sliding doors out to a long terrace with a gas grill that has great views out over Southie and the Seaport District.

The rear-facing double-height living room has maple floors and two walls of 20-foot windows with power-controlled blinds that afford panoramic views over South Boston to the Blue Hills to the towers of Back Bay.

Through glass doors is a bedroom, now used as a study, with closets in an adjacent hallway, one of which holds a stacked Bosch washer and dryer. There’s also a full bath off the hallway with white subway tile floors and surround.

The carpeted master bedroom suite sits on the second floor, featuring a good-sized bedroom with Seaport District views and an adjacent walk-in closet with built-in wardrobes. The en-suite master bath has white porcelain tile floors, a raised tub, separate walk-in shower and a two-sink silestone-topped vanity.

The carpeted third bedroom is loft-style, overlooking the living room, and has closets and a full white subway-tile bath in an adjacent hallway.

The condo has separate electric heat pump systems for both floors and the $1,365 monthly condo fees includes heat, gas and hot water.

The unit comes with two tandem parking spaces in the complex’s underground garage.
