A duplex penthouse atop Boston’s One Dalton, a Four Seasons-branded hotel and residential tower in the Back Bay neighborhood, will hit the market for $34 million on Thursday—placing it among the priciest homes for sale in the city, Mansion Global has learned.
Located at top two floors of the 61-story glass tower, the penthouse has 7,200 square feet of living space, including a 50-square-foot private balcony off the primary suite and 570 square foot grand terrace with a double-sided fireplace, according to Manny Sarkis of Douglas Elliman, who is handling the sale with his brother, George Sarkis.
The residence also features a private direct elevator, 11-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and two fireplaces, Mr. Sarkis said.
The home’s lofty price reflects its superlative position on Boston’s skyline. Designed by architects Henry N. Cobb of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners and Gary Johnson of Cambridge Seven Associates, the building, at 742 feet, is the third-tallest building in Boston and the tallest residential tower in New England.
“This duplex unit enjoys the highest elevation of any home in the city with expansive views, including views of Charles River and Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox,” Mr. Sarkis said.
Building’s amenities include laundry, housekeeping, turndown and catering services, in addition to a 20,000-square-foot amenity space with a spa, a wellness and fitness center, a residents’ lounge and a business center.
This is one of the three duplex penthouses in the skyscraper and the only remaining sponsor unit. Another penthouse sold for $34 million in January 2020, which was listed for $40 million, narrowly eluding a record sale price for the city, Mansion Global previously reported.
The most expensive home ever sold in Boston is a penthouse at the Millennium Tower, which sold for $35 million in 2016, according to property records.
“Boston’s luxury market has been performing in the thick of the pandemic, as the inventory is low,” Mr. Sarkis said. “More buyers are trending back into the city with the positive news of vaccine rollout and extended hours of restaurants and businesses.”
