Boston City Group, Inc’s Ligotti, Redeker, and McGranaghan broker $2.19 million sale

Brookline, MA 31-31A Harvard St., a 4,398 s/f mixed-use building was sold by Boston City Group, Inc’s Caroline Ligotti, Linda Redeker and Emily McGranaghan who marketed the property, exclusively represented the seller, and procured the buyer. The sale price was $2.19 million.

Boston City Group ran a full and cooperative marketing process for the property, taking over 50 groups from several regions through the building, and receiving multiple offers. The property closed at $240,000 over the original asking price.

The three-story brick building was constructed in the late 1800’s and is comprised of a first floor commercial unit and two three-bedroom floor-thru units above. It was sold vacant and primed for rehab.

Situated in historic Brookline Village, the building is within five minutes walking distance to the Brookline Village MBTA Greenline Station.

The building also sits in an “Eds and Meds” epicenter within immediate proximity of over seven colleges and universities, and the Longwood Medical Area with multiple world-renowned hospitals and distinguished research facilities near by.
