You have seen our recent post on the cheapest South End condo, so we thought we would treat you to a look at the most expensive South End condo that is currently on the market.

You might think $2 million, or perhaps $3 million will get you the most expensive unit in Boston’s South End, try $5 million. Currently, 1280 Washington Street is being offered at $4,999,000 for almost 6,000 square feet of living space. Being priced at $851 per square foot actually makes it a reasonable buy, given the quality of features, but, you’ve got to buy 5,868 square feet.

Ricardo Rodriguez, a local Coldwell Banker agent, is representing the Seller. We have a friendly bet going with Ricardo that Boston Condo Guy will find a Buyer for the unit, so don’t let us down

Over the past week, there have been 4 new resale listings that have sprouted up in Wilkes Passage 1313 Washington Avenue, an unassuming looking condo development in the South End that has gorgeous interiors and underground garage parking. Combining the recent listings with the existing ones takes the total to 8 available units in the building. Granted, Wilkes Passage is one of the largest developments in the South End with 150+ units, but, it’s still rather unique to see this number of listings come in short succession out of the same development. Perhaps Sellers are trying to take advantage of the last Fall push of Buyers before we all go into hibernation for the Winter.

Regardless of the reasoning behind it, the pickings are good. Prices range from $539,000 to $1,150,000 and in size from 919 to 1,918 square feet. Garage parking appears to be included in all but two of the available units.
