One of the city’s most jaw-dropping lofts just hit the market in…Davis Square? Indeed, this penthouse unit in Somerville is quite the rare find with its expansive walk-out deck, renovated open-concept living area, and airy master bedroom.

Built in 2004, the Davis Square Lofts complex overlooks the Somerville community bike path. Unit 5, however, steals the show. It seamlessly blends the indoors and outdoors thanks to huge glass-paneled garage doors. The gigantic retractable walls let breezes and natural light flow into the main living space and bedroom. A shiny new kitchen with soapstone counters and a farmhouse sink overlooks the dining area, while a spa-like bathroom boasts a steam shower and a soaking tub.

The oversized walk-out deck adds 1,000 square feet of living space to the home. That means there’s plenty of room for sunbathing, lounging, gardening, grilling, and dining. Listing agent Ashley Rose explains there’s the potential to build a greenhouse, too. Swoon.
