Tipping My Cap to the W Boston

It’s no secret that The Clarendon is out front when it comes to sales out of the group of new full service buildings. In 2011 though, perhaps the best kept secret was the W Boston. The W has been through a lot in the past year including a bankruptcy, but in spite of this, the W still sold an impressive number of homes. According to MLS records The Clarendon sold 32 Homes in 2011 while the W sold 30. Now, W sales team will tell you the numbers are actually a difference of 1, but nevertheless it’s still impressive. So a tip of my cap to Dinny and her staff and we wish them continued success in 2012.

313 Commonwealth Ave

313 Commonwealth Ave is the latest in a growing trend of taking single family brownstone homes in Back Bay and converting them in to luxury condos. The former single family home, has been converted into 3 luxury condos that are expected to be completed for move in this December. What makes this project more unique than some of the others in recent memory, is that each home is coming complete with all of the most requested features. Among a litany of other features, each residence will come with deeded parking and outdoor space. Few other projects in Back Bay offer both of these much requested features to every unit. The kitchens will feature Marble counters and state of the art stainless steel appliances, and each unit has at least 1 gas fire place with granite surround as well as direct elevator access.

The penthouse duplex looks to set itself apart from other units in the neighborhood by offering 3 private decks, including a nearly 500 sq. ft. roof deck. This, combined with the deeded parking is sure to make it an attractive home to potential buyers.
