Home Showcase: Eastie loft anything but marginal

Recent construction woes aside, East Boston continues to thrive as a dynamic, colorful neighborhood.

Sited in the heart of Jeffries Point, East Boston’s coveted waterfront area, unit 4 at 288 Marginal Street is a luxurious loft that encapsulates modern urban living.

The stylish south-facing 2-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom duplex penthouse comes with three — yup, three — private outdoor spaces and a direct access deeded garage parking space.

Stepping into the loft, your gaze is immediately drawn to the expansive 10-foot walls of glass that frame serene water views. The living room seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living with a walk-out balcony and a cozy gas fireplace for chilly nights. Adjacent, a spacious dining area flows from the sleek kitchen, featuring gas cooking, an eat-in island, and glass sliders leading to a large deck perfect for cookouts and entertaining.

The primary suite is a sunny retreat, boasting large windows, ample closet space, and an opulent bath adorned with Calcutta marble and dual floating sinks. The second bedroom offers generous proportions, and the second bath impresses with a spa-like shower featuring an intricate pebble tile design.

As you ascend the stairs from the rear deck, your expansive private roof deck awaits with city and water views to swoon over.
