A $16 Million Teardown = Heck of a Garage Sale
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Word out of Boston — the Boston Herald, to be exact — is that Red Sox owner John Henry wants to tear down a mansion he just purchased in Brookline for $16 million. This guy paid $16 million dollars for a 13,000-square foot, 7 bed, 11 bathroom home and he’s going to demolish it? According to the article, the previous owners, Frank McCourt and his wife, Jamie, spent millions to renovate, but Henry wants to raze this 1930s home and start over in his own vision and style. The home looks enormous on Zillow. Evidently, this $16 million is just a few million less than the all-time highest Massachusetts purchase of $18.5M (yup, another Brookline mansion).
This should be one helluva garage sale, don’t you think?
