536 Commercial St. MLS Listing

Following a controversial zoning relief decision at 536 Commercial Street, the single-family residence was listed for sale this week at $3,995,000. Last summer, the Zoning Board of Appeal approved the conversion of the 3-family building into a single-family including an enlarged head house and roof deck on the 4-story building. Prior to the purchase and conversion, the property was listed at $984,000.

The neighborhood groups were split on the issue presented by property owner, Dr. Akhy Kahn. The Neighborhood Council (NEWNC) voted in favor of granting the zoning variances while the Residents’ Association (NEWRA) voted against the plan. Neighbors at 540 Commercial Street expressed concerns at the community meetings, mostly about the roof deck.

The building is located adjacent to Copp’s Hill Terrace Park. It is not clear whether the property was lived in after the conversion, that also included a curb cut onto Commercial St. for a private garage.

The property is currently listed with the following description:

This extraordinary never before available one-of-a-kind single family residence overlooking Boston Harbor is truly a sight to behold! Featuring an architecturally designed cherry design concept with glass transoms and stainless steel throughout, enhanced by 30 windows showcasing mesmerizing water views from every room. Complete with the rarely available private garage and a gorgeous roof deck with all the flair of living in the heart of today’s vibrant Waterfront. Asking price: $3,995,000
