Home Showcase: Snazzy studio at The Parker

Let’s say you’re a gal about town, or an international man of mystery, or a Boston Bruin looking at a long playoff run. You want swank city digs but you don’t want to make decorating decisions for a 3,000-square-foot penthouse.

Enter Unit 1010 at The Parker, Boston’s latest eye-popping condo development in the Theater District, overlooking Downtown Crossing.

The 10th floor studio is sized for efficiency, but the corner unit is the perfect place to lay your head after a fun night — or month — out. Turns out, you can pack a lot into less than 600 square feet if you’re purposeful about it. To wit, the studio includes a full designer kitchen with Thermador and Bosch appliances, accented with Calacatta quartz counters and a marble backsplash, a washer and dryer closet, and a dedicated desk nook for work or study.

Nine-foot ceilings, pale oak floors, and a corner wall of floor-to-ceiling windows add up to a studio that feels much larger than it is.

The amenities at The Parker, courtesy of Zarifi Design, are inspired by a speakeasy. Expect a dark, moody vibe in the cocktail lounge, screening room, even the fitness center. A rooftop deck overlooking Boston Common provides an all-season lounge space.

Open house hours are Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to noon. For more information about the condo, on the market for $879,000, contact George Sarkis of The Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman, 781-603-8702.
