Boston's most expensive home lists for $29.9M: Historic mansion has cobalt blue ... trends now
Boston's most expensive single family home has gone on the market for $29.9 million along with some bold design choices.
The 19th century mansion built in 1882 is situated in the city's Back Bay area along Commonwealth Avenue.
It's full of audacious design decisions, from a cobalt colored living room, a chess board flavored hallway, and plenty of skeletons, not in the closet, but in the shower.
The price tag is the most expensive single family home for sale in Boston with more than 10,000 sq ft of space complete with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, set over five floors.
The current owner, venture-capital investor Kevin Starr, is now selling the home after his family moved out to the Boston suburbs.
