Meet the Archer Residences, 67 very fancy units coming to Beacon Hill in the near future. The Archer’s penthouse, which is currently the most expensive home for sale in the city at a whopping $18 million, is poised to be architectural marvel when it’s completed. Both levels of the home are connected by a floating wood-and-steel staircase enclosed by glass—and the shiny glass accents don’t stop there. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors in the main living area open directly to a rooftop terrace, where there’s a Jacuzzi and an infinity-edge pool.

Another pre-construction penthouse clocks in as the second-most expensive listing in town. The roof deck on this one might take the cake—it’s south-facing, and boasts a lap pool, hedges, a fire pit, and areas for dining and lounging. The interior isn’t so bad either, with multiple fireplaces, soaring ceilings, and a jaw-dropping marble bathroom.

This 1866 brownstone was once divided up into condos, but now it’s being restored to its former glory as a single-family townhouse. No expense will be spared in the renovation, of course, as the home asks just $15.5 million. Inside, an elevator will whisk residents to every level of the home, which total more than 8,000 square feet of living space. A drool-worthy kitchen promises a cozy dining nook in its bay window, and around the corner, a wood-paneled library will serve as a stately reading room. There’s a roof deck on the property too, plus a total of four parking spaces.

If you’ve ever dreamed of living at the Mandarin, here’s your chance: one of the hotel’s most luxurious residences is asking $13.5 million. The condo, which may take a few design cues from Lucille Bluth, offers sweeping views of the city from every room. The 3,500-square-foot home has three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms (one for every person, perfect!), multiple fireplaces, and a grand dining room with a chandelier. All that’s missing is a bar cart.

Yet another penthouse graces Boston’s list of most expensive pads, and this one has not one but two outdoor terraces. They both have panoramic views of the city, not to mention plenty of space for gardening. Inside, there’s a breathtaking master suite with a soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower. Best of all, the building comes with a little design cred: it was built in 1929 in Art Deco style.

A corner penthouse on the waterfront is a highly coveted slice of real estate, which might explain this home’s $11.5 million price tag. And yet, it’s justified: A glass-enclosed balcony frames one-of-a-kind views of the harbor, all the way from the downtown waterfront to Logan. Plus, the open-concept kitchen and living area is quite impressive, too, with 13-foot ceilings and walls of glass that look out to the sea. Those who prefer to get closer to the water can take advantage of one of the slips in the marina below.
