louisburg estate

As Luxist reader Rob points out Louisburg Square is one of the most desirable areas in Boston. Tucked into pricy Beacon Hill, it is perhaps Boston’s most exclusive address, a tiny enclave of picture-perfect brick townhouses around a small private park. Your chance to live in the same neighborhood as John Kerry and Teresa Heinz comes with this Greek revival home that dates from the 1830s. The home has an elevator, sunroom, outdoor garden, media room, catering kitchen and roof deck for views of the Charles River. The home gets ample natural light and has high ceilings, hand painted murals in the dining room, mahogany and ebony inlaid flooring. The master bedroom suite has his and hers bathrooms and there is a double living room with a wet bar for entertaining. The five bedroom home has nine vintage fireplaces and is listed at $8.9 million.

1. We could all chip in together

and that would cut the price down to only a million or so for each of us! I know I have an extra million laying around here somewhere, I just can't remember where I put it!

Seriously though, the house does sound beautiful, as do the neighbors.

2. I wonder what the property taxes are!

Oh well, if you have to ask....

And I noticed at the top of the listing, it has 2 $'s out of a possible 5. That means it's on the cheap end of their listings!
