There is something decidedly different about The Perla. From its contemporary architecture and beautifully considered interiors to its spectacular rooftop spaces and genuinely attentive concierge service, this is a building that feels elevated from the moment you arrive. Unit #305 takes that feeling a step further. Since its purchase more than four years ago, the current owners have thoughtfully added a layer of personality and refinement throughout the home. Custom wallpaper brings character to both the expansive hall bath and serene primary suite, while custom closet systems provide exceptional storage. Outside, the private balcony is made even more special by a limestone Marais wall fountain—an unexpected and beautiful detail rarely found in a city condominium. The home itself is equally impressive. A sophisticated modern kitchen is outfitted with a Thermador Professional appliance suite and opens naturally to generous living and dining spaces framed by oversized windows. Both bathrooms are notably spacious, while a large, versatile den provides an ideal setting for a home office, media room, or additional living space. Add in the convenience of garage parking, with one space conveying with the residence and additional spaces available for rent, and you have a home that combines polished design, thoughtful personalization, and the ease of one of Shaw’s most distinctive condominium buildings.
