BOSTON -- A local resident forked over a pretty penny for a parking spot.
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage agent Debra Sordillo 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.
Sordillo told The Boston Globe that several residents of a building on Commonwealth Avenue 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 the space is also trying to sell a two-bedroom suite in the building for $2.5 million.
