Downton Abbey in Central Massachusetts! Constructed in 1903 as the private residence of renowned industrialist John W. Wheeler from the best materials by the finest craftsmen of the era. Step back in time as the Industrial Revolution took hold in America and successful entrepreneurs enjoyed enormous prosperity and entertained lavishly. From the brick and sandstone façade, the formal living room with elegant plasterwork, the carved Mahogany dining room encircled with a continuous frieze depicting a hunting scene, to the library paneled in Red Birch and the den in quartered Sycamore, this extraordinary property offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history. Many of the major spaces have been lovingly restored by the current owners and includes a state of the art Buderus heating system. As a private residence, bed and breakfast, restaurant, wedding and event venue, corporate retreat, or other creative use, this masterpiece would have few equals.
