While he may not have secured a spot on Team USA for the Paris Olympics, Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown is fresh off a legacy-defining season.
The eight-year NBA veteran made his third All-Star team, won Eastern Conference finals MVP and Finals MVP, and helped the Boston Celtics win their first NBA championship since 2008.
And while he’s winning big on the court, he’s hoping to bank a personal win too. He just listed an industrial-style penthouse with a historic vibe he owns on Melcher St. in Boston’s Fort Point neighborhood for $4,750,000.
One of the highest-paid small forwards in the NBA, Jaylen lives in a sprawling 7-bedroom mansion in Wellesley, bought back in 2020 for $7.8 million. So he likely hasn’t lived in the Fort Point condo for quite a while.
Nevertheless, the Melcher Street penthouse reflects the sartorial icon’s style and features open-concept, industrial-yet-warm interiors that perfectly complement the building’s historic appeal. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

The stylish 2,964-square-foot penthouse sits atop a 1916-built brick building at 49 Melcher St. in Fort Point, the former industrial district along Fort Point Channel filled with historic lofts, art studios, and galleries.
The building is also home to a popular local steakhouse called Mooo…. Seaport.

The unit consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half-bath, and a spiral staircase that leads to a generously sized rooftop deck.
It has a luxurious primary suite with a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity and walk-in shower.

“It’s the MVP of town houses. It really is,” real estate agent George Sarkis — who shares the listing with Manny Sarkis of The Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman — says of the $4.75 million Fort Point penthouse.
“The open concept, the feel of it, the brick and beam,” Sarkis told Boston.com. “To see this at about a 3,000-square-foot scale is very hard to come by. Having one of Boston’s steakhouses in the building is a big bonus.”

Much like the other historic homes and converted buildings around Fort Point, the building retains its most coveted original features.
Brown’s penthouse has exposed brick walls, oversized factory windows that flood the open floorplan with natural light, and a 12-plus-foot ceiling with the original wood beams.

The historic elements are beautifully complemented by modern additions throughout the open-concept floor plan, particularly in the kitchen, which has been equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and an eat-in island.
The large living area — comprised of living, dining, and kitchen — can easily be configured differently, should the future owner choose to do so.

As for where Jaylen Brown is heading next, we’re guessing he already made his choice years before listing his penthouse in the city.
Brown has been famously living in the posh Boston suburb of Wellesley, Massachusetts, known as one of the most expensive towns in the country.

Back in 2020, Jaylen Brown scored a $7.8 million deal for a massive 10,099-square-foot home in Wellesley that had previously been listed for $11 million.
Sitting on 1.53 acres of land, the mansion has 7 bedrooms, 9 baths, and boasts a farmhouse style with modern aesthetics.

Since he’s nice and settled in the suburbs, Jaylen is now parting ways with his Melcher St. penthouse, and has hired Douglas Elliman top producers George and Manny Sarkis of The Sarkis Team to help him offload the city residence.
