Here’s a controversial take: New condo units don’t need to top 2,000 square feet to feel spacious or functional. The new development at 249 Corey Road in Boston — The Jordan — takes this theory for a (successful) spin with 34 new units. One of these, Unit 203, is on the market, along with its highly coveted garage parking space.

In the building, you benefit from a Boston address, but as soon as you step outside, you have access to Brookline’s best restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and shopping in nearby Washington Square and Coolidge Corner. Building amenities include the essentials like a fitness center and bike storage, but also an eye-popping communal roof deck with 360-degree city views.

Unit 203 itself sits pretty on the corner, with oversized picture windows looking out over the treetops. More for the window nerds: The triple-paned windows add incredible soundproofing so you can shut out the city at the end of the day.

The condo features an open floor plan that works for unwinding as well as it does for entertaining. The kitchen adds efficiency with an eat-in peninsula, contemporary two-tone cabinetry, and luxe Fisher & Paykel appliances. And, at just over 1,100 square feet, it’s roomy without feeling cavernous.

On the market for $1,375,000, the sale of the penthouse is listed by Todd Glaskin with Coldwell Banker Realty – Newton, 617-843-5685.
