A real estate agent said a resident of Boston's upscale Back Bay section plunked down $300,000 to own what is believed to be the priciest parking space in the city's history.
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage agent Debra Sordillo told The Boston Globe that several residents of a building on Commonwealth Ave. bid for the coveted space, driving up what had been the original asking price of $250,000.
Sordillo said prime parking spaces are very difficult to come by in the neighborhood near the Public Garden.
The winning bidder was not identified. The Globe reported that the seller of the parking space is also trying to sell a two-bedroom suite in the building for $2.5 million.
