Is 21 Mill the new reigning price-champ in Dorchester? Perhaps 21 Mill is the priciest of Dorchester homes sold specifically as residences, not as redevelopment opportunities. Would somebody please sell a condo in Dot for $1.3M and settle this once and for all?
2. Boston's biggest neighbourhood
Last year saw some big trades in Boston's
biggest neighborhood by area. In October,
the 2,244-square-foot, 3-BR, 3-BA at 92
Grampian Way closed for$1,010,000. Its
sale touched off speculation that the
Gambrel across from Savin Hill Park was
Dorchester's most expensive single-family or
condo sale ever. Then! We caught out breath
and reassessed: 60 Ocean Street in Ashmont
had sold 13 years before for $1,149,000.

3. Boston's biggest neighbourhood
But that property included an attached
carriage house, so was it really a single-
family home? The same, it turned out,
went for 92 Grampian, which, while
listed as a single-family,apparently
included an attached townhouse as well.
Well, it turns out the speculation is moot.
The Greek Revival house at 21 Mill
Street in Dot's Clam Point just closed
for a total dwarfing both 60 Ocean and
92 Grampian.

6. Boston's biggest neighbourhood
Twenty-one Mill has 18 rooms and some 6,400 square feet; and its bones date from way back
in 1845. There are an astounding eight bedrooms (or seven bedrooms and an office, or
some such arrangement); and seven bathrooms, including four full ones. The property was
asking $1,295,000 starting in mid-June, and closed on Dec. 28 for $1,275,000.
Now, that makes 21 Mill much pricier than either 60 Ocean or 92 Grampian. Like with those
addresses, however, 21 Mill also includes separate living space; in this case, a townhouse able
to generate more than $2,500 in rent monthly, according to the listing from Declan O'Toole.

7. Boston's biggest neighbourhood
So... Is 21 Mill the new reigning price-champ in Dorchester? A further wrinkle: Twenty-four
Grampian, an antiquated Savin Hill single-family with an old stable on the property, sold in
May 2014 for $1,500,000. The site has since been redeveloped into townhouses. So perhaps
21 Mill is the priciest of Dorchester homes sold specifically as residences, not as redevelopment
opportunities. Would somebody please sell a condo in Dot for $1.3M and settle this once and
for all?
