The number of homes selling for $1 million and over in Massachusetts was 1,915 during the past year, almost unchanged from the 1,913 homes that sold for $1 million and over the year before. Here's a look at five properties that sold recently in the Bay State for a cool $1 million:
At 82 Middle St. in Newburyport, an award-winning restoration of The Ebenezer Dole House has resulted in an artful blend of historic ambiance and modern amenities. The 1810 Federal period home is located steps from downtown and includes a designer kitchen with granite counters, a Wolf range, Sub Zero fridge, walk-in fireplace and an office area.
Listing broker Margaret Cargill of RE/MAX on the River said, "Buyers are seeking renovations that feature an open floor plan including a family room, open kitchen and dining area as well as a full master suite."
The 2,900-square-foot, four-bedroom home includes a master suite with a 25-foot Carrara marble spa bath, soaking tub and walk-in closet.
This architect-designed, 3,869-square-foot home is located at 280 Great Meadows Road in Concord. The house sits on 4.7 acres overlooking Borden's Pond and has over 600 feet of pond frontage. Sold by listing agent Wade Staniar of Landvest, the property is configured as two separate units with kitchens on the first and second floors.
Carved out of a handsome stone church, Unit 4 at 444 Mount Auburn St. in Waltham is a three-bedroom, 3,850-square-foot condo that has its own four-story bell tower with views into Boston.
Listing agent Gail Roberts of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, who sold the property, said, "It was so unique and dramatic in that it offered buyers multiple uses for the space."
The living room boasts a 30-foot ceiling plus a fireplace and the eat-in-kitchen has granite counters, stainless-steel appliances as well as an island. Other details include interior stone arches, arched windows and a 22-foot cathedral ceiling in the master suite.
The sellers of 55 Alexander Ave. in Belmont made careful and informed choices as they reconfigured the layout and renovated extensively with high quality materials, said listing broker Susan Murie of ePlace Real Estate.
The 2,056-square-foot, single-family home includes an eat-in kitchen, custom cabinets, as well as a marble fireplace and surround sound. New plumbing, electric, windows and a roof were added in 2005.
"When finishing the new addition, the sellers sourced slate tiles from Vermont to match the existing roof tiles of the original part of the building. Smart renovation decisions made while preserving the unique charm inspired multiple offers on the home that was originally listed for $940,000," Murie said.
Elizabeth Bone of Macdonald & Wood Sotheby's International Realty, who listed 670 Washington St. in Duxbury, said, "This home is a waterfront paradise, where you can moor your boat close by, paddle your kayak or swim in the Blue River."
The six-bedroom, 5,300-square-foot home has water views on two sides and was originally established as the First Bank of Duxbury in 1833.
Completely restored, the home has three levels, four-and-a-half baths and six fireplaces.
