*Luxury Homes – 2025’s Highest‑Priced Sales in Massachusetts**
The three most expensive residential transactions in the Bay State this year, sourced from MLS and Zillow, all sit in the same elite trio of locations: Martha’s Vineyard, Boston’s Back Bay, and Nantucket. With a median single‑family price of $925,000 in Greater Boston, these deals are in a league of their own.

**Blue Heron Farm – 41 Cobbs Hill Road, Chilmark, Martha’s Vineyard**
*Sold: July 10 2025 – $37 million*
The former Obama summer White House, this 30‑acre estate on Tisbury Great Pond boasts a tennis court, pool, and private beach. A 150‑year‑old barn was relocated from Pennsylvania, and a pool house designed by Norman Foster adds architectural prestige. Listed by Maggie Gold Seelig of MGS Group Real Estate, the property confirms that privacy on the Vineyard can command tens of millions.

**59 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston (Back Bay)**
*Sold: November 24 2025 – $21 million*
This 11,300‑sq‑ft townhouse, built in 1910, remains a single‑family monolith on the “Gold Coast.” It features 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms (8 full, 2 half), an elevator, and a rare attached garage. A separate staff/guest apartment adds to its allure. Maggie Gold Seelig again handled the sale, underscoring her role in this year’s high‑end deals.

**14 Lincoln Avenue, Nantucket**
*Sold: January 7 2025 – $21 million*
Tied with the Back Bay property, this 1908‑era home offers 6 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and a restored façade. A separate guest house and a rooftop deck exceeding 900 sq ft—claimed to be the largest on the island—provide panoramic views. Inside, a hidden study behind a foyer panel offers a discreet retreat for summer guests. Gary Winn of Maury People Sotheby’s listed the property.

These three sales illustrate that, while the median price in Greater Boston is approaching the $1 million mark, the state’s most exclusive homes command prices that far exceed that benchmark.
