Massachusetts Home Becomes Most Expensive Ever Sold!

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a much more successful version of myself and hit up Zillow for some houses that are ridiculously out of my budget. It makes me feel fancy. Then it makes me feel. a little sad when I realize it's fake. Then I eat ice cream.

One Bay State estate just sold for such a jaw-dropping price tag that it set the Massachusetts record for most expensive ever sold in the state.

The price tag? A whopping $38.1 million!!!

The estate is located on Nantucket and includes THREE residences - 20, 21 and 22 Berkeley Avenue is located in the high-end Monomoy neighborhood of the island. The estate includes a main residence and two guest homes. The total square footage of the 3 tops 15,000 square feet!

The previous two most-expensive record holders included another gargantuan house on Nantucket that sold for $36 million in 2022 and a Boston penthouse that sold in 2016 for $35 million. The new record was set on June 28th when it sold for $38.127 million.

The estate was originally purchased by Cindy and Evan Jones in 2006 for $16 million. That's a pretty nifty little profit! The original asking price this time around was $56 million. It was reduced a couple times before finding that $38 million sweet spot. (?)

If you'd like to peruse the record-breaking property virtually, put on your fanciest outfit (because it just seems fitting), pour yourself some top-shelf bubbly, and CLICK HERE! I'll be waiting for you back here in boring reality.
