Former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman has sold his Back Bay penthouse condominium in Boston for $5.45 million, according to public records and the listing agent involved in the transaction. The sale of the unit at 205 Commonwealth Avenue was completed privately on June 26 at the full asking price.

Edelman originally purchased the 2,025-square-foot residence in 2015 for $2.2 million under his own name. In 2018, ownership was transferred to a trust called Move The Chains LLC, for which Edelman and Francis J. Edelman are named as trustees. By 2022, the property remained vested in this LLC structure.

Located between Exeter and Fairfield streets, the penthouse unit features expansive windows and a private balcony that offer views of the Back Bay neighborhood. The interior includes a wood-burning fireplace framed with marble, a dining area illuminated by a skylight, and a kitchen equipped with high-end appliances, stone countertops, and custom cabinetry. The two-bedroom layout includes a primary bedroom with a walk-in shower.

Additional amenities on the upper level of the unit include a full bar, a half bathroom, and access to a private 216-square-foot roof deck furnished with a grill and hot tub. City records note the roof deck is maintained in excellent condition.

Despite its many features, the property lacks dedicated parking, a notable factor given Back Bay’s high demand for spaces. The city’s assessing records list zero parking spots for the unit.

Edelman, who retired from the Patriots in 2021 after a 12-year career, is well known for his contributions to the team's Super Bowl victories and his nickname "Flying Squirrel," attributed to his agility and special teams performance. He expressed his satisfaction with the sale on the listing agent’s website, commending Allison Mazer, who has served as his real estate agent for over a decade, for securing a buyer quickly and obtaining full asking price within two days.

The most recent tax bill for the property, prior to any residential exemptions, totaled $34,024, according to city data. The sale reflects a significant appreciation in value since Edelman’s initial purchase in 2015, more than doubling the assessment recorded by the city at $2.17 million.
