Oooooohhhhh, I hope they have bulletproof glass.
I'm just projecting what will be said tomorrow morning mentally in an internal Mom From Titanic voice by people as they read this on the Franklin line after leaving their almost upside down $285,000 cape in Bellingham.
Savin hill is the chestnut
Savin hill is the chestnut hill of Dorchester, has always been much more expensive than the rest of Dorchester.
I had 25 Years In Dot and 25 years working real estate
I can say with some conviction that Savin Hill is not Chestnut Hill. Not by a longshot. Savin Hill is nice over the bridge but when you still have hookers working in the parking lot of McConnell Park at night it isn't Lee Street or Sears Road by any stretch of the imagination.
Is Over The Bridge nicer than say Magnolia Street or Florida Street, and is comparable to Beaumont or Fairfax Streets, yes, but Chestnut Hill? John Henry owns a big building with ever dumber journalists in Savin Hill that he is trying to unload, he choose to pay $16M to knock down a house in Chestnut Hill and rebuild. My math was never that good but $16 > $1M by 16x.
Hookers on the Hill
We have hookers on Beacon Hill. Byron St in is the neighborhood where homes sell in the millions. You will find condoms and needles in the street. The same goes for the Common and Public Garden. Don't ever dare to walk through the Common talking on your cell phone.
Chestnut Hill
Of Dorchester, not Chestnut Hill of Boston.
My point was
It isn't just Dorchester that has hookers and drug users. Houses that sell for $14 million share same the problems.
I'll miss those parties
Oooo there were some fancy ass good times had in that house!! I hope it's another gay owner!!
First in Dorchester?
Dorchester is pretty big. You mean there hasn't been any other million dollar single family in that entire area in the past couple of years? (And technically the home is not a strict single family if it includes an attached 2 bedroom townhouse.) Can't imagine that something down by Ashmont hasn't broken that barrier already. Any sleuths out there?
60 Ocean Street
It is a single family, sold October 2012 for $1,149,000. Big house. Listed by the city as a 109, meaning multiple buildings because it has, I believe, a carriage house but google earth shows no other building, meaning the crack staff at the Boston Assessor's Office hasn't done a field survey in years.
By the way, Nice job Metro. Herald reporting, but its free!.
Of course there is the urban legend on the Welles Ave. side of Ashmont that a couple paid in the range of enough for a house to make me blush in the early 2000's for a Victorian, did a little renovations and found a Tiffany window behind a wall. Window removed, sold, and mortgage paid.
24 Grampian
24 Grampian sold for $1.5 million
24 Grampian - Two Family
The question was on first single family house for $1M +
92 Grampian
When the article reads that there is a townhouse on the property, which sits is empty, it may not be a 2 family, but sure sounds like one.
hi, awesome, friendly
hi, awesome, friendly individual. 60 Ocean is in Ashmont, not Savin Hill and has a carriage house in the back which therefore makes it a multi family at the time of sale. you could say the same about Grampian Way since it has a townhouse in the back, but that isn't up for rental. Grampian is listed as both a single and multi.
Technicality?
Is it truly a "single family home"?
"There’s also a two-bedroom townhouse attached to the home, which Piccini currently lets sit vacant. (This is why the home is currently listed as both a single and multi-family home.)"
Even if it is sitting "vacant" - part of the value has to be from the income stream/permitting allowance of the second two-bedroom on the property.
There is no townhouse on the
There is no townhouse on the property. The reporter was confused. 21 Mill St has an attached townhouse and is a multifamily. 92 Grampian does not. I've been in and around the whole property many times.
hi, REALTOR. Interesting,
hi, REALTOR. Interesting, since your client feels a bit differently about the layout of the home.
