Can This Boston Penthouse Command $5,000 a Square Foot?

When it rains ginormous condo listings in Boston, it pours. Monday brought news of the priciest new Boston listing since that Millennium Tower monster late last year. Today brings news of this corner unit at Back Bay's Carlton House, which just hit the sales market for the first time since the building's development in the early 1980s. Penthouse 4 features spectacular city, Common and Public Garden vus, including from a terrace of around 1,500 square feet (impressive, though not the biggest one up for grabs right now!). It also comes with two valeted, garaged parking spaces; and the services of one of Boston's swankiest addresses, 2 Commonwealth Avenue. The 3-BR, 3.5-BA, 2,517-square-foot duplex wants $12,500,000 through Tracy Campion. That is an astounding-for-Boston $4,966.23 a square foot. Stay tuned.
