The onetime private retreat for philanthropists Paul and Bunny Mellon takes the top spot in this week’s roundup of Massachusetts’ most expensive home sales. Set on a private island it shares with only a handful of other homes and looking out into Nantucket Sound, the 1954 home has played host to movie stars and President John F. Kennedy and Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis. It still retains some of the Mellons’ touches, most visibly in the landscaping and formal garden shaped by Bunny Mellon’s famed horticultural skills.
