Winchester Mansion, Estate of the Day
The suburban town on Winchester, Massachusetts is home to a variety of older grand homes. This home, with an English country manor look, was built in the 1930s. It has six bedrooms and sits on two acres that include formal gardens. You're going to need your Murphy's Oil soap for this one because there is beautiful woodwork everywhere. Large leaded glass windows keep it from being too gloomy. While the merits of a room covered in toile continue to elude me, the bedrooms do exude a posh coziness. And if ever there was a home that made good and ample use of Oriental rugs, this is it. it is listed at $4.6 million.

The bedrooms with that wallpapering is horrid in my view, but otherwise a very tasteful and gracious manor house. The kitchen is functional (I'm not keen on using all white) although it seems lacking in warmth.
For having just 2 acres of grounds they've certainly made it as inviting as possible to stroll around the estate. An owner could do far worse and pay much more for homes with a mere fraction of the grand appeal - and high quality building materials - that goes with this place.
