Michael and Susan Dell's Boston Penthouse Goes to Auction
Dell's Boston Penthouse: A Luxury Opportunity at Auction
Strategic Real Estate Shifts by the Dell Family
Michael and Susan Dell, renowned for their philanthropic endeavors and significant roles at Dell Technologies and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, are strategically managing their upscale property holdings. In addition to their recent $6.25 billion commitment to children's accounts, the couple is refining their extensive real estate footprint, particularly in Boston.
The Millennium Tower Penthouse on the Auction Block
After initially listing their duplex penthouse at the Four Seasons Private Residences for $34 million, later reduced to $29 million before being withdrawn, the Dells have now placed their 59th-floor penthouse at the Millennium Tower up for auction. Acquired for $10.9 million, this residence is being offered via a sealed-bid auction by Paramount Realty USA and Serhant Massachusetts, with a minimum reserve price of $6.5 million. The bidding period concludes on October 29.
Exquisite Design and Features of the Penthouse
Located on the 59th floor of the 60-story Millennium Tower in Boston's Financial District, this sophisticated unit spans approximately 4,100 square feet. It boasts three bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a powder room. The interior features rich espresso-toned white oak flooring, ceilings exceeding 11 feet, and large grid-style windows that provide stunning vistas of the city skyline, Charles River, and Boston Harbor. A private outdoor terrace further enhances the living experience.
Luxurious Interior Spaces and Amenities
Upon entering through a secured elevator, a grand main gallery leads into a expansive living and dining area. This space is accentuated by a sleek, linear gas fireplace set into a black granite wall, complemented by an entertainment console. A convenient butler’s pantry connects to a bespoke Christopher Peacock kitchen, equipped with rift-sawn oak cabinetry, polished Calacatta Extra marble countertops, a central island for casual dining, and high-end Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances.
Private Sanctuaries and Comprehensive Services
The primary suite, situated in a secluded area, includes a walk-in closet and dressing area, alongside a lavish en-suite bathroom featuring full-slab marble and a chic freestanding soaking tub. Two additional guest bedrooms, each with their own walk-in closet and bathroom, are thoughtfully designed; one is currently set up as a workstation. A designer powder room and a dedicated laundry room add to the home's functionality. Residents also benefit from a monthly HOA fee of $6,862, which covers access to a 24-hour doorman, two garage parking spaces, and a 20,000-square-foot private club offering dining by Michael Mina, a 75-foot swimming pool, wellness spas, and round-the-clock white-glove concierge services.
A Glimpse into the Dells' Global Property Portfolio
Despite these real estate adjustments in Boston, the Dells' portfolio of ultra-luxury properties remains extensive. Their holdings include a 119-acre modernist estate known as The Castle in Austin, Texas; the 4.3-acre Raptor Residence, an oceanfront property in Kukio, Hawaii; and a grand $100 million duplex penthouse atop Manhattan's iconic One57 skyscraper.
