CL Waterfront Up to Bat for Manny Property

Filed under: Boston Luxury Condos, Boston Luxury Real Estate Market, Carmela Laurella, CL Waterfront Properties NEWS, Featured Sold Properties, Luxury Real Estate. • Tags: , . By

boston luxury apartmentsSure, Manny Ramirez’s track record has been… eccentric.  After all – it is Manny being Manny.  But that doesn’t mean the same should go for the former Red Sox heavy hitter’s Boston luxury property.

After six years of on-again, off-again efforts to sell his Ritz-Carlton Boston penthouse, he now has it up for rent at $24,000 a month.  And who else better to manage the property than our very own president and broker, Carmela Laurella.

“We had a couple of offers last summer and rented it now for a very, very good amount, so we’re very confident that we can sell it this year,” she said.

The Boston luxury penthouse will be back on the market in July.

For more, check out the Boston Herald article here, “Manny rents out Ritz digs for $24G a month”, and be sure to visit Carmela Laurella’s exclusive Boston luxury property listings.

Another Happy CL Waterfront Properties Client!

Carmela Laurella, President of CL Waterfront Properties recently assisted a Boston Waterfront property owner with the sale of her home after she and her husband were dissatisfied with the original agency they signed with.  CL Waterfront was pleased to have received the following testimonial about our service:

“Carmela recently helped us sell our beautiful waterfront property in Boston.  We first signed up with another agency, but no serious offers, so after three months, we signed with Carmela.  What a difference!

She immediately found a lovely couple who wanted to buy the unit but needed to sell their home in CA.  Since it was the worst part of the recession and winter was beginning in Boston, we agreed thinking a sale was not likely for the condo.

When they were not able to buy it, Carmela put it back on the market and it sold within 2 weeks at 98% of the asking price.  She was able to generate numerous showings.  I think she is the ultimate professional.  I could not offer a higher recommendation for Carmela at CL Waterfront Properties.  She is the best.”

CL Waterfront Properties is please to announce that one of our properties was selected by the Wall Street Journal to be featured as their House of the Day!  The Wall Street Journal selects properties that are architecturally extraordinary and unusual homes for sale to feature in their prestigious ‘House of the Day’ gallery.

This gorgeous Boston Waterfront condo in the Mariner Building was featured in New England Home, on cable television, and in The Boston Globe because of its one-of-kind deck-garden, which adds additional dimension to this exquisite home.

Beautiful Patio Space with Ocean Views

The U-shaped patio has been converted into a number of outdoors ‘rooms’, creating an inviting extension of their home that is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the Waterfront views, or entertaining guests.  There is a breakfast nook, living room, dining room, and garden area, all designed and landscaped by the current owners.

Each of the planters in the Waterfront Patio Garden were custom-made with over three-quarter inch insulation to protect the plants from cold spells.  The planters were delivered by crane to the deck, and the two-zone irrigation system took over 80 hours to install!
