The first entry in this week’s roundup of Massachusetts’ most expensive home sales made a bit of a splash the last time it was listed, thanks to a transparent elevator. Resembling nothing so much as a bank teller’s pneumatic tube or, thanks to its placement at the center of its handsome spiral staircase, a warp core from the Enterprise, it’s a unique feature completely at home with the home’s thoroughly modern interiors. The CBT Architects-designed townhouse is topped off with a outdoor kitchen-equipped roof deck.
