For your SWEETHEART! Freshly remodeled and move in ready, over half an acre, includes 2 city parcels! This charming historic home is known as the first home in Mansfield, built before the City of Mansfield was established. It has many unique features including beautifully ornate wood and stonework. It was a favorite hangout spot of Laura Ingalls Wilder, where she used to attend tea parties in the antique fireplace room. In fact, you can see the similarities if you visit Rocky Ridge Farm, the home she and her husband built down the road from this house. Over its 140 years, this home has sheltered families and thrived in business as a general store, a boarding school for kids, a hostel, a bed and breakfast, a museum, a retreat center, and also a candy store.
