A historic Back Bay brownstone just sold for $11.5 million—well above asking—after a fierce bidding war, showing just how hot Boston’s luxury market is right now. The five-story home, once owned by Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca, blends 19th-century charm with modern comforts like an elevator, heated driveway, and rooftop deck. Townhouses like this rarely hit the market, and its corner spot with tons of windows made it even more desirable. With median prices in Back Bay soaring, do you think these record-breaking sales are good for the neighborhood, or making it harder for locals to stay? #RealEstate #BostonRealEstate #BackBay
