Cherry hardwood floors can be found throughout the main living area and bedrooms.

Awe is a natural reaction when you step inside the penthouse condo at 757 Massachusetts Ave.

Soaring ceilings, stunning views and spectacular finishes give this 5,000-square-foot home in the heart of the Mass Ave. arts and theater district its wow factor.

Built in 2005, the three-bedroom, 3 1/2-bath luxury condo is on the top floor of the 757 building, above shops and restaurants at the corner of College and Massachusetts avenues.

Its owners, who are now retired, helped design the unit and some of the furnishings. Listed for just under $1.9 million, the custom-designed home features an open floor plan, with light flooding the sophisticated space and bird's-eye views of Downtown to the east, west and south.

The velvety voice of singer Michael Bublé singing old-school jazz standards can be heard over the surround sound stereo as visitors enter the condo off the elevator.

A long foyer with curved ceiling, tiled floor and pendant lighting leads to a guest bedroom with full bath on one side and a laundry room on the other.

The condo opens up to a gourmet kitchen with a sleek 19-foot granite-topped island and breakfast bar that curves from one end of the kitchen to the other. Dual stainless ovens, built-in refrigerator, cherry cabinets with leaded glass doors and an adjoining pantry area with an additional full-size fridge and freezer complete the space.

A large covered balcony off the kitchen with a gas grill is one of two outdoor spaces offering fresh air and sweeping views of town.

If you can take your eyes off the kitchen, look to the right and soak in the scene. Glossy cherry floors as far as the eye can see. A formal dining area with curved tray ceiling and chandelier leads into the 48-by-24-foot great room, where access to the second terrace can be found. Through the great room is an elevated space for the grand piano.

French doors lead to the sprawling master suite, with its luxurious marble and tile bath, his and her walk-in closets and sitting room with gas fireplace.

On the other side of the kitchen is another guest bedroom with full bath, plus a large library/office.

Striking architectural details, custom finishes and recessed lighting add character to every room, while the amenities of Downtown living are just outside the front door.

And parking won't be a problem. The property comes with three garage spaces.
