This Historic $15.5 Million Boston Brownstone Was Given a Modern Makeover
In Boston's historic Beacon Hill, where private sales are the norm and legacy addresses rarely trade hands publicly, a newly reimagined townhouse on Mount Vernon Street is commanding attention. Listed for $15.5 million with Beth Dickerson of Sotheby's International Realty, the stately spread spans five floors and offers just over 7,000 square feet of living space. The 28-foot-wide, single-family home stretches from Mount Vernon to Acorn Street—the latter of which is often cited as the most frequently photographed street in the United States—providing prime views of Louisburg Square. It also happens to be the first dual-address townhouse in Beacon Hill to undergo a complete gut renovation in nearly four decades. More from Robb Report Porsche Just Unveiled a New One-of-a-Kind Hypercar for the Road Knickers, Amish Vests, and Rare Buttons: Painter Jamie Wyeth on How His Art Influences His Personal Style These Personal Subs Can Now Be Rented by the Week Originally built in 1900, the residence has been reworked from the ground up by High Street Development. Led by developer Gaetano Morello, the firm is known for restoring historic homes across Boston's most sought-after neighborhoods. Morello enlisted the team at Embarc Design to execute the transformation. RELATED: This $50 Million Boston Penthouse Has an Indoor Pool With a See-Through Bottom The 19th-century gem has been outfitted with all-new infrastructure and contemporary amenities. The home includes elevator access to every level, four custom-mantled gas fireplaces, and a landscaped roof deck with sweeping panoramas over Beacon Hill. The garden level features a private patio with an outdoor kitchenette, while sliding glass doors connect a relaxed seating area off the home's secondary kitchen to a rear garden with a mudroom and bike storage. Three distinct living areas complement the formal front parlor. Just off the garden-level entertaining zone is a cozy media room with a fireplace that will keep you nice and toasty during movie nights or quiet evenings in. On the top floor, a generous open-concept space with an en suite bath and built-in minibar offers potential as a home office, creative studio, or guest suite. RELATED: A Beacon Hill Condo Overlooking the Boston Common Can Be Yours for $10 Million The layout includes six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and two half baths in total. Set across an entire floor, the primary suite features two walk-in closets, a home office, and a spa-like bath. Two family rooms and a separate au pair suite round out the living spaces. Parking is included at Brimmer Street Garage—one of the neighborhood's most difficult-to-secure perks. Properties of this size and level of finish are exceedingly rare in Beacon Hill, and sales at this level have become increasingly competitive. A nearby townhouse at 78 Beacon Street recently sold for $19 million, while another fetched $28.25 million earlier this year. On the new development front, the neighborhood condo record stands at $15.75 million for a penthouse at 89 Beacon. This is a neighborhood known for its discretion and pedigree—among the residents of Louisburg Square are Teresa Heinz and former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. Plus, Tom Brady previously owned a home just a short walk away.

Calgary luxury homes market holds attention of buyers across Canada
Little house on the prairie, it's not. A recently listed single-family detached home in Calgary's southwest — among its most sought-after resale real estate markets — is indeed a picture of luxury. Article content Only buyers in Calgary's $1-million-plus market are likely to recognize it as a deal for their dollars when compared with larger markets in Canada, says a local realtor specializing in upscale resales. Article content 'With people moving from B.C. and Ontario, these homes are highly affordable to them,' says Vivienne Huisman, senior vice-president of sales at Sotheby's International Realty in Calgary. Article content 'Our luxury market starts at $1 million where luxury in those markets starts at $4 million.' Article content Article content Toggle full screen modePrevious Gallery Image Next Gallery ImageToggle gallery captions Article content Article content Still, the luxury market here has seen growth moderate, though demand has not shrunk like larger markets, a new report from Sotheby's suggests. Its Top-Tier Real Estate: Spring 2025 State of Luxury Report found that Canada's two largest markets for luxury sales — Vancouver and Toronto — saw declines in activity in the first quarter of 2025 (ending March 31). In Vancouver, for instance, sales of home $4 million or more declined 48 per cent year over year. In the Greater Toronto Area, luxury activity declined 15 per cent. Article content Article content 'Economic uncertainty, particularly related to U.S. trade tensions, has dampened consumer confidence,' says Effi Barak, president of Sotheby's in Canada. Article content Conditions have not just had a negative effect on buyers in non-luxury segments whose budgets are more restricted by economic malaise. Article content Luxury buyers may be less sensitive to the economy, but they have become more discerning amid uncertainty, Barak says. 'These buyers are taking more time to evaluate opportunities and are negotiating more aggressively, resulting in a slowdown in overall luxury market activity, even though the underlying demand and capital remain strong.' Article content In Calgary, luxury buyers likely are seeing opportunities at hand. Its luxury market and Montreal's saw sales growth in the first quarter. Sales for homes $1 million or more increased two per cent year over year here. In Montreal, activity was up 11 per cent.
