Beautiful Wellesley estate loses to that $11 million condo in this week’s big sales
Nobody was going to beat the $11 million sale in Newbury Street this week. It is the biggest sale so far this year, besides (probably) the Millennium Tower penthouse. But a $3 million Wellesley home, this week’s second biggest sale, is still nothing sneeze at. Cambridge also had a pretty big week, with two very different units going for the same price, $2,750,000.
Check them out.
6 Newbury Street, Unit 3, Back Bay, Boston
In one of the biggest home sales of the year thus far, this Back Bay condo with four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and 6,100 square feet sold for $11,480,000 on May 6, above the neighborhood’s $868,800 median home value. The single-floor unit has direct elevator access, floor-to-ceiling windows, an open concept living/dining room, and wine storage.
71 Carisbrooke Road, Wellesley
This five-bedroom, 5,387-square-foot home on two acres of land sold for $3,086,500 on May 9, above Wellesley’s already high $1,166,300 median home value. The home has plenty of room for entertaining, a brand new kitchen, a solarium, and an exercise room.
On May 9, this renovated home from 1902 with four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and 3,723 square feet sold for $2,750,000, above Cambridge’s $648,000 median home value. The single-family home has lots of historic details, such as mahogany woodwork, a bay window, mahogany wainscoting, and beamed ceilings. There’s also a bevy of modern amenities, like quartz counter tops and updated appliances.
75-83 Cambridge Parkway, Unit W708, Cambridge
Quite different from the single-family home above, this Cambridge penthouse overlooking the Charles River with two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 2,060 square feet of living space, sold for $2,750,000 on May 10. The condo, along with its views, has a marble-floored foyer, a balcony, a direct-entry garage, and an updated kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, and high-end appliances.
