At $17.2 million, this Back Bay condo is now Boston’s biggest sale so far in 2017
The historic brownstone -- with five bedrooms, four baths, two half baths, and 7,554 square feet of living space -- was built in 1890.
Though it doesn’t top 2016’s $30 million-plus deal for a Millennium Tower penthouse, the recent purchase of a Commonwealth Avenue condo is Boston’s biggest sale this year by far.
The condo, at 25 Commonwealth Ave., has sold for a whopping $17,200,000, according to the listing agent, Jeannemarie Conley of Compass. The historic brownstone — with five bedrooms, four baths, two half baths, and 7,554 square feet of living space — was built in 1890.
This sale trumps the previous 2017 residential price record, which was from February, when 32 Derne St., No. 5A, in Beacon Hill sold for $9,035,000, according to The Warren Group, a real estate-tracking firm.
The unit at 25 Commonwealth Ave., which has a private entrance and elevator, features 32 windows, many of which offer views of the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. The 42-foot living room has 15-foot coffered ceilings, while the library features stunning woodwork. The home has five gas fireplaces and comes with four garage parking spots.
Other amenities include two laundry rooms, a private patio, and an on-site superintendent.
