Suburban mansions dominate the most expensive sales of the week
For the first time in a while, no homes in the city of Boston were among the most expensive sales of the past week. Instead, the list is full of brand name suburbs like Weston, Newton and Brookline. And the price tags are still pretty impressive.
Check out the biggest sales of the week.
This recently renovated, 12,835-square-foot mansion in Weston sold for $5,600,000 on August 22. The home itself has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and a stunning first-floor layout that displays the home in all its glory. A library with floor-to-ceiling cherry wood walls serves as a perfect retreat from the rest of the open space. If anything, the rest of the complex is even more impressive, with a 2.4 acre plot, a 3,000-square-foot barn and a lower level showroom capable of holding eight vehicles.
Just a few miles away, this brand-new, 9,850-square-foot Shingle-style house sold on August 19 for $4,960,000. The home has five bedrooms and an oversized kitchen full of custom cabinetry. Its huge backyard, which already includes a fireplace and has space for a pool or tennis court, touches 100 acres of conservation land. The home was also wired in such a way that it’s ready to be outfitted with all kinds of cool stuff, from smart home automation technology to an outdoor entertainment system.
Another new construction, this brick Colonial in Brookline sold on August 22 for $4,650,000. It has seven full bedrooms, more than 10,000 square feet of living space and an acre of land. That allows it to be set back from the road and gated for privacy. The new buyer will get to choose from a few possible configurations of bedrooms, including whether two master suites are on the first or second floor. There’s a two-story foyer, a large chef’s kitchen and a three-car garage.
This Federal Revival house, built in 1941, sold on August 22 for $3.1 million. The home has five bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and 3,740 square feet of living space. The bathroom in the master suite may be the house’s crown jewel, with radiant heat and a soaking tub. The lot and location are at least as much of a selling point as the structure, though. Set on Longwood Mall Park, the land includes a private courtyard and is surrounded by flowering trees and plants.
