Description
Located along the Charles River, The Esplanade is a luxury condominium building that offers residents the benefit of being close to downtown Cambridge. Units are available both for sale and for rent, so potential residents are able to find a condo that will meet their unique needs.
The amenities featured in each unit are designed to closely match the features of the average single-family home. The Esplanade was originally designed to give residents the feel that they were living in a suburban home while remaining close to all of the amenities of Cambridge and nearby Boston. These amenities include outdoor spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light, balconies that give residents sweeping views of the waterfront and city and dining areas that are distinctly separate from kitchens and living spaces. Layouts include two- and three-bedroom floor plans to give residents plenty of room to work, play and live.
Luxurious touches start with the doorman who greets residents 24 hours a day. The doorman is even able to help residents take packages or luggage to their condos. A concierge is also available to screen guests for security and provide recommendations when it comes to local restaurants and attractions. The adjacent parking structure offers four levels of secure spaces for the convenience of residents who would like to keep their vehicles close to home.
Each condo has its own security system that is operated through a keypad. Not only does this system keep residents safe from intruders, but it also controls a sprinkler system in case of fire. To keep residents' belongings safe, each condo is assigned a separate storage locker with secure access.
The on-site health center features an indoor swimming pool, saunas, exercise equipment and changing rooms. An on-site gathering room can be reserved by residents who would like to host business meetings or personal parties in the building.
Comfort and convenience are main goals that the management team at The Esplanade maintains. Each unit is equipped with a state-of-the-art heating and cooling system that features zoned temperature control. Residents who share their space with others have the opportunity to adjust the temperature in each zone of their condo to make sure that everyone is comfortable.
Sound barriers are used between each condo to ensure that residents are not disturbed by the noise of their neighbors. Each condo features wall-to-wall carpet that is available in a variety of colors that new residents are able to choose for a customized look. Residences on the upper floors include fireplaces for an added touch of elegance.
