Last week, Charlestown witnessed the market introduction of a potentially record-breaking real estate listing at 31 Monument Square. Priced at a steep $6.5 million, this renovated brownstone could set a new high for single-family home sales in the neighborhood, according to Boston.com. Originally comprising four apartment units, this property has undergone an extensive transformation.

Prominently positioned across the street from the Bunker Hill Monument, the home spans 4,656 square feet and sits on 0.06 of an acre. It now features six bedrooms, four full and two half bathrooms, and retains a harmonious mix of modern and period finishes. Tyler Le Cao of BA Property and Lifestyles Advisors, which holds the listing, emphasizes the property's luxurious appointments and thoughtful details, including wainscoting and marble fireplaces. Despite the home's expansive size and historical features, it comes with just two parking spaces—an amenity often at a premium in Charlestown.

Inside, residents and guests are met with stained glass panes and herringbone wood floors that anchor the first floor, encompassing a kitchen with seating for four at its island, and flowing spaces for both dining and living. The primary suite sits on the second floor, complete with a fireplace and a bathroom boasting a double vanity, and a separate shower and tub. Additional bedrooms and a family room, complete with a fireplace and wet bar, occupy the third floor.

The listing's webpage at BA Property & Lifestyles Advisors lauds the home as a "Grand Dame" of Boston, balancing historical charm with updated infrastructure. The chef's kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and sprawling entertainment spaces underline the property's blend of historical allure and contemporary convenience. Each element, from the luxuriously appointed primary suite to the intricately detailed woodwork, has been designed to offer both comfort and elegance.
