Boston Says No Thanks to $15 Million Price Tag

When the two penthouse units (1801 and 1802) at Trinity Place were combined into a single listing earlier this year, priced at $15 million, it was the highest priced condo to ever hit the Boston real estate market.

As we described in July (see Trinity Place Penthouse - $15 Million), the combined penthouse units boasted over 7,000 square feet of living space, 8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, and 4 valet-parking spaces, along with a $10K per month HOA fee.

After more than 200 days on the market, the $15 million listing has been withdrawn. According to Maryann Taylor, the exclusive listing agent, parties were “interested” in the mega-penthouse unit, but, nothing came to fruition. The Seller has decided to move forward with separating the units, and has now placed unit 1801 on the market for $7 million.

In addition to the $7 million listing, there are two other condos available at Trinity place (see Trinity Place Listing Details). For more information, use the ‘Contact Us’ link at the top of the page.

    <p><p>A few months ago I read that there were two townhouses for sale on Comm. Ave; one owned by Herb Chambers and another right next door. I think those two properties were each listed for in excess of $15,000,000. Did they end up selling?

    Note in the following information the distinction between a condominium and a single-family listing.

    The most expensive condo or single-family home that sold (on March 30, 2007) in the Back Bay in the past year has been 25 commonwealth Avenue Unit 1, which sold for $8,250,000 (originally listed at $9,995,000).

    The most expensive Back Bay condo listing currently available is 51 Commonwealth Avenue Unit C-G, listed at $11,500,000.

    According to the Boston Assessor, a Herb Chambers owns 128 Commonwealth Avenue. This property is indeed currently on the market, and it is the most expensive single-family residence currently available in the Back Bay at $11,950,000 (this is after a significant price reduction from $14,950,000, which happened in July after the home was on the market for 6 months).

    51 Commonwealth Avenue Unit Penthouse 51, a condo, listed at $13,995,000, expired off the market back in November 2006 after being listed for over two years, with only a $500,000 price reduction.
