Wakefield is where charming New England sensibilities meet “but not in the middle of nowhere.”

Perched on the top floor of a 2024 development, this newly constructed penthouse redefines lakeside living with style at 20 Lawrence Street.

Unit 3’s open floor plan flows effortlessly, with natural light cascading through oversized windows to illuminate the simple, sleek interior. At its heart, the chef’s kitchen commands attention. Topped with sleek quartz counters, the custom cabinetry and professional-grade gas stove anchor the space, as does the farmhouse sink, while an oversized island beckons for gatherings — whether intimate brunches or lively dinner parties. There’s even a serving station with a beverage cooler for keeping your party going.

The penthouse’s two spacious bedrooms promise restful retreats, each thoughtfully appointed with refined finishes and en-suite baths, while a half bath, dedicated laundry room, and entryway “mudroom” add practicality. Just beyond the sliding glass doors of the living area, a private balcony offers a serene perch to savor coffee or a glass of wine while drinking in the views of Lake Quannapowitt.

Beyond the walls, Wakefield offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern vibrancy. Lake Quannapowitt, a gem in its own right, is a hub for outdoor recreation, from paddleboarding to lakeside strolls. Downtown Wakefield complements the natural beauty with an array of dining, shopping, and community events, making it a sought-after enclave north of Boston. A garage parking spot is included with the penthouse, commuters rejoice.

On the market for $919,900, the sale of the penthouse is listed by Kenny Leva and The Leva Group at Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty, 978-877-8194.
