Welcome to another edition of our weekly series rounding up Boston-area open houses to check out over the weekend—because who doesn’t love a little real estate gawking? This week’s options are a penthouse loft conversion in Fort Point, a renovated 600-square-feet condo by Carson Beach, and a brand-new condo close to the T. What these homes might lack in size, they make up for in location.
