Over the past couple years The Charles Realty has had the pleasure of working with Kathryn Flynn in the office.  Kathryn has been the director of marketing here and done a wonderful job to say the least.

She began as an intern and did such a phenomenal job with her amazing design skills, impeccable work ethic, social media knowledge and her upbeat personality, that everyone decided she needed a real position with the company.  Since then she has done nothing but good for the office. We have really appreciated working with her.  Not only did Kathryn take on great responsibilities here, she was also an honors student at Emerson College where she is now completing her senior year and she is in the midst of planning her own wedding for this summer!

Kathryn really is a hard worker with great maturity and we're truly grateful for everything she has done. As Kathryn graduates, gets married, and moves across the country we're all wishing her good luck and saying THANK YOU for everything!

Located at 211 Commonwealth Ave, this mansion is on the market and listed at $17,900,000.  It boasts 11+ bedrooms, 14 fireplaces, and 9 bathrooms! And nothing about this home is modest or dull.  With high arching ceilings, detailed finishes and stained glass windows there is always something to be looking at.

This single family home showcases a granite finished music room, an au pair suite, grand formal living rooms, an impressive mahogany staircase, and spectacular chandeliers.

Beyond the glamorous features of this home it has the perfect location, right in the heart of the Back Bay. It's particularly rare to have any garage space here in Boston, never mind the 4-5 car garage that comes with this home! Overall this home is nothing short of jaw-dropping.
