This Boston Brownstone Was Vacant For 2 Decades. Now It's Listed For $15.5 Million

MASSACHUSETTS — It pays to own real estate in Beacon Hill, but it's not every day you see a home go from vacant to listed for over $15 million.

The address of the newly listed home, actual total $15.5 million, says 94 Mount Vernon St., but offers a rare private back entrance from the famed Acorn Street.

Boston.com spoke with the real estate firm High Street Development, which purchased the property in 2024. The firm is known to purchase brownstones in Back Bay, the South End and Beacon Hill before restoring them to their former beauty.

Gaetano Morello, principal of High Street Development, told the publication that the property was "decrepit."

Beacon Hill properties often went through a similar lifecycle: Posh, upper-class living in the 19th century turned multi-family in the modern day.

For 94 Mount Vernon, that lifecycle ended with the property sitting vacant for two decades.

The more than 7,000 sq. ft. home doesn't come with details from its former glory days, but it comes with more than enough perks, designer and otherwise. (Yes, including a prime Boston parking situation.)
