Wherever you’re watching the fireworks this year, it probably won’t compare to the private roof deck of this prewar penthouse, located in the heart of the Back Bay. With panoramic views of the cityscape and the Charles River, this 700-square-foot al fresco paradise is ideal for hosting a star-spangled celebration. You can also marvel at Instagram-worthy vistas from inside the floor-through apartment, where oversize windows on all four sides of the unit ensure plenty of natural light. Period details such as crown molding and coffered ceilings lend historical character to the space, while luxuries including an iPad-controlled audio-visual system and Thermador and Bosch appliances in the eat-in kitchen add modern touches.
