Discover A Gilded Age Mansion Designer By Louis Comfort Tiffany

The Gilded Age Mansion was built for Frederick Ayer, owner of the American Woolen Company. Her daughter was married to General George Patton and he is rumoured to have proposed to her at the Ayer Mansion, although this particular legend has been disputed.

The approximately 15,600-square-foot Boston’s Ayer Mansion property, which was completed in 1901 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 2005, features mosaic tile, stained glass, detailed plaster and yes, custom light fixtures throughout.

The Ayer Mansion is the only completely Tiffany-designed home in the world. Standing five stories and fronting both Commonwealth Avenue and Marlborough Street, this is a rare opportunity to match a buyer’s own vision with a uniquely modern and disruptive design.

The home is expected to contain 6 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, Living, Dining, Parlors, Salon, Lounge, Study, Two Offices, an In-law Suite, a Terrace and a Roof Deck, Fitness Room with Spa, a Wine Room, Wet Bars and a 3-Car Garage plus exterior off-street space.

Original custom plasterwork and stained glass are on display in the main floor hall. The renderings show a selection of minimalist contemporary furniture that allows ornate details to command the space.

Upstairs will be a salon that will feature highly detailed wood finishes, built-in shelving, a tiled fireplace and relatively understated stained glass windows. The top trim features unique carvings of coats of arms, horses and other medieval imagery. The dining room will be located at the back of the house and will have fewer ornamental details. Tasteful wood trim remains, while a simple white brick fireplace is suggested.

The curving staircase is one of the first features to greet you upon entering the great hall of this home. With a tall fireplace tucked under vaulted ceilings and an oval overhang above granting a peek at the upper levels, there’s certainly competition for your attention.
