$8M South End penthouse in converted church has views of Prudential Center

"Concord Baptist Church, a historic Black church, was once located on the corner of Warren Street and West Brookline Street in the South End. In a 2024 Globe article, Sammie Banks, an Alabama native who joined the church in 1965 recalled how the congregation would linger well after the final prayer, chatting over meals about whatever and whoever. There was no rush; most of them lived a few minutes' walk from the chapel, anyway."

"Now the building's most spectacular unit, a two-story penthouse that includes the cupola, is for sale for $7,990,000 and being shown off-market. The 3,508-square-foot home was purchased as rough, unbuilt space by the current owners who engaged renowned Acton builders Kistler and Knapp to create a dramatic residence to their custom specifications. With three bedrooms and three and a half baths, this unit has direct elevator access from the street level entry,"

Concord Baptist Church, a historic Black church built in 1868, once stood on the corner of Warren and West Brookline Streets in Boston's South End. The congregation moved to Milton in 2011, and developer Peter Zagorianakos converted the brick building into nine condominiums while preserving the exterior at the urging of the South End Landmark Commission. The two-story penthouse that includes the cupola is listed off-market for $7,990,000. The 3,508-square-foot unit was purchased as raw space and customized by builders Kistler and Knapp into a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence with direct elevator access between floors and from the street, plus two heated garage parking spaces. Listing agents are Beth Mina George and Joshua Golden.
