A $10 million Back Bay mansion and 8 major sales in Newton this week
305 Commonwealth Avenue sold for under its asking price.
In yet another week of big sales in the Greater Boston area, Newton stood out with eight homes crossing the million dollar mark (and plenty more getting really close). Boston proper didn’t do half bad itself, with a home sale topping $10 million. Check these out.
305 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston
This 1885 Back Bay home was listed for $12.5 million, though just sold for $10.1 million on December 1, which is a lot even for a neighborhood where the average home price is $2,377,500. The townhouse has 13,712 square feet, nine bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, plus original details, a central staircase, and an expansive garden.
Garnering Newton’s most expensive sale of the week, this home went for $3,850,000 on November 30, well above the suburb’s average home price of $1,175,000. The home has 7,175 square feet, seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. It is a new construction built this year and has two options for a master suit, an expansive roof deck, a patio, and a three-car garage.
1592 Commonwealth Avenue, Newton
On December 1, another home in Newton, and also on Commonwealth Avenue, sold for $3,000,000, once again well over the town’s average home price. The six-bedroom, six-and-two-half-bathroom home has 7,750 square feet of living space. There’s an in-ground pool, hot tub, plenty of outdoor entertaining space, a billiard room, a media room with leather recliners, and a chef’s kitchen.
This recently renovated Colonial home sold on December 2 for $3,040,000, which beats out Concord’s $1,075,000 average home price by quite a bit. The five-bedroom home has 7,295 square feet of living space on 1.42 acres of land. There are five fireplaces, custom cabinetry in the kitchen, a mud room leading to a three-car garage, and lush lawns and patios.
