This luxury listing is situated across the street from the Bunker Hill Monument — and there’s a chance it could make a little Charlestown history of its own.

Last week, 31 Monument Square entered the market for $6,500,000, an asking price that, if met, would set the record for the most expensive single-family home sale in Charlestown. Tyler Le Cao of BA Property and Lifestyles Advisors has the listing.
