The 4,341-square-foot townhouse at 26 Holyoke Street has a lot going for it, as you might expect: five bedrooms; four and a half bathrooms; two working fireplaces in the double parlor; high ceilings; pocket doors that take you into a mahogany-paneled study with a balcony; a bonafide media room; onyx in the master bathroom; four heated parking spaces, for god sake! Never mind all that, though. It's also got a rooftop hot tub with a grilling station just steps away. Think about that tonight as you're positioning the fan by the window, balancing the pan-fried cutlet on your knees, and wishing the streetlamp outside didn't crowd the starry sky so. The townhouse last traded in August 1997 for $350,000. It just hit the market for $4,490,000.
