Mansions that would be very costly to build today are on the market around
the country for well under $1 million each.
Price: $750,000
Beds & baths: 8 & 10
Square feet: 6,295
The Cornerstone Mansion has been run as a B&B lately but it's being marketed
for sale as a single-family home. That could be a very large family, since
the home has nearly 7,000 square feet of floor space.
This Gothic Revival was built in 1894 for the Offut family, whose patriarch
was a leading attorney in town. It's had only four owners in its history,
according to Clare Marsh, the listing agent.
Original elements include an inlaid tile floor and oversized doors at the
entrance, tiger-striped oak wood, an original foyer chandelier and leaded-
glass windows at the main staircase landing. The library woodwork is of
Cuban mahogany and the dining room is black walnut. A broad staircase winds
up to the nine bedrooms on the second and third floors. One of the bedrooms
features a Royal Doulton tile fireplace.
Marsh said the roof was replaced recently, a $300,000 job. That's 40% of the
asking price of $750,000. | W***n
