Given the reflective nature of New Year’s Eve, I thought I would post a list of Boston’s top 5 Most Expensive Homes and Condos Sold in 2008. Please make note that this list does not include closings at the Mandarin Oriental for two reasons: 1. these units were put under agreement almost 5 years ago and 2. it would be a very boring list with 5 units from the Mandarin Oriental on it! I hope you enjoy it!

This spectacular Boston Waterfront home features two fantastic private outdoor spaces with the best direct Boston Harbor views available.
