BOSTON, MA – Saul Cohen, President and Co-founder of Hammond Residential Real Estate, recently announced that agents Chris Remmes and Peter Maglia represented the buyer and seller client in connection with the $2,225,000 sale of 8 Symphony Road in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood. The sale, according to Multiple Listing Property Information Network (MLSPIN), represents the highest-priced residential transaction in the neighborhood within the last fifteen years.
Located one block from historic Symphony Hall, 8 Symphony Road is a spectacular single family brownstone residence, circa 1883, that features 3,060 square feet of living space. Comprised of ten total rooms, the property includes four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and one half-bathroom. Recent renovations to the residence blend the best of period detail with modern convenience, and amenities such as central air conditioning, hardwood flooring, and three fireplaces can be found throughout the property, which also features a dramatic loft-like two level great room and an eat-in kitchen.
Exterior amenities at 8 Symphony Road include a generously-sized deck and one off-street parking space. The residence is in proximity to numerous restaurant, retail, and transportation options, in addition to all that Boston’s Fenway, Back Bay, and South End neighborhoods have to offer.
