Last week, as part of Curbed University, we defined what an "office" can mean in Hub real estate. Where can you get one of these "offices," especially as Tax Day approaches and you could really, really use a write-off? Glad you asked. Here are the 10 most expensive listings in Boston that specifically offer an "office" as part of the floorplan.
Address: 31 East Concord Street
Price: $2,335,000
This 5-BR, 4.5-BA South End townhouse also offers the office as a potential au pair room. Depends on where you are in life, we guess. The place was price-chopped just this week by $64K.

Address: 27 Braddock Park, #1
Price: $2,379,000
The 3-BR, 3.5-BA in Back Bay just comes out and says that the office could be one more bedroom. Poof goes the illusion.
__
Address: 90 Commonwealth Avenue, #18-19
Price: $2,399,000
This Back Bay condo is also forthright: one of its 5 bedrooms can be used as the office (the current owner's doing so now), and others can be used as the library and for "dressing/exercise." The price was chopped, um, two days ago by $91K.
