BACK BAY - The 8-BR, 10-BA townhouse at 318 Beacon Street seems to have disappeared from the market, only to have reappeared a couple of weeks ago for $9,300,000. Ta-da! There is one big change: It was listed for $10,500,000 before it disappeared.

SOMERVILLE - It's no secret that the city has several apartments asking at least $5K a month. There are at least two asking a lot more than that, including this one at 1 Summer Street, a converted Gothic church with ceilings that, not surprisingly, soar like a phoenix rising from Arizona. The 3-BR, 3.5-BA, 4,295-square-foot triplex is currently Somerville's most expensive rental at $6,750 a month.
