Big home sales of the week show some buyers are already thinking about summer
An ocean front estate in Beverly sold for $2,897,227.
It doesn’t have to be July for people to buy waterfront homes. This week there were big home sales in a few of Greater Boston’s coastal towns and many big sales in the suburbs. It was another fairly slow week for huge Boston sales, but its surrounding areas more than made up for it. Check them out.
This oceanfront estate with six bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and 7,181 square feet of living space sold for $2,897,227 on December 15, well above the $371,000 median closing price in town. It sits on 2.7 acres of land and has a private beach, along with a tennis court and a carriage house. The home was built in 1895, but has been completely renovated with modern amenities while still keeping historic details.
On December 17, this four-bedroom, three-and-two-half-bathroom ocean view home sold for $1,140,000, which is quite a lot above Rockport’s $363,000 median closing price. It has 4,742 square feet of living space and panoramic views of Gull Cove, Granite Pier and Rockport Harbor. There’s a gourmet kitchen with an island, a breakfast nook, vaulted ceilings, and a ocean view deck.
Designed by Harvard-educated architect Constantin Pertzoff of the Modernist School in the 1960s, this unique home sold for $1,185,000 on December 11, above Lincoln’s $715,000 median closing price. The home has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,546 square feet of living space, along with wood floors, a galley kitchen, handmade doors, and a sun porch.
On December 11, this six-bedroom, six-and-two-half-bathroom, 9,229-square-foot home sold for $3,100,000, well above the town’s already high median closing price of $905,000. Built in 2002, the shingle-style estate has over an acre of land, a mahogany library, an elevator, a carriage house with a four-car parking garage, and amazing views of the gardens.
