Perhaps you don’t think of Medford as much more than the place where Tufts is located, never mind the lap of luxury. But this high-rise penthouse condo unit, perched atop Mystic River Park Condominiums, challenges that idea. First, there’s the building itself: a conveniently located complex with a gym, a roomy parking lot, and security/concierge services to tend to your whims. Plus, it has an indoor pool and two racquet ball courts so you can stay on top of your Pickleball game. Then there’s the views: think 360-degree glimpses of the Mystic River reservation, the Middlesex Fells, and the nearby Boston skyline. But this unit itself is really the crown jewel of this entire complex.

The penthouse condo was custom designed for the owners by the building developer when this home was built in 1989. As such, it’s a space that’s totally unique right down to its style, which is reminiscent of the era it was built. It’s perfect for an owner seeking a little retro charm where they live.  The pink and white marble flooring, frosted glass doors, and living room wet bar might not be for everyone, but you are unlikely to find another home like it.

In addition to the pink marbled accents, tiered overhead lighting, and mirrored columns in this home, you’ll find amenities fit for royalty. In the bathroom off the primary suite, you’ll find a built-in tub and a private sauna room, while the walk-in closet off can accommodate the wardrobe of even the most dedicated fashionista. The open floor plan living space has a kitchen, living room, and dining area with a wine chiller and of course, a wet bar. Meanwhile, a glass encased-sunroom offers a way to enjoy a sunny day if the wraparound deck just isn’t doing it. From here, you can gaze out upon your kingdom, and relish in knowing you have the more unique homes in all the land.
