COLONIAL
Listed in the Massachusetts Historic Registry, the Brewer-Young Estate is a magnificent circa 1884 Colonial Revival mansion that was home to a number of prominent Springfield families including Rev. Samuel and Harriett Wolcott, State Senator George and Corinne Brewer and the inventor of Absorbine, Jr. Wilbur and Mary Ida Young. (Mary Ida Young was also a descendant of Declaration of Independence signer Thomas Stone, and steam locomotive inventor George Stephenson). A national treasure that beholds a wealth of history, this home requires some investment to restore it to its former glory.
Majestically sited on 1.8 acres in the Longmeadow Historic District, the home is a fine example of the gilded age brimming with exquisite antique fixtures and ornamentation showcasing the finest materials of the day. Intricately carved moldings, 6 fireplaces, antique chandeliers and sconces, a breathtaking stained glass window, leaded glass doors with iron grilles, leather-embossed wall coverings and stunning Zuber wall murals reveal a high degree of refinement throughout the home, which spans over 10,900 square feet. Elegant formal rooms are well-appointed for grand entertaining, adorned with elaboration and rich wainscoting, inlaid hardwood floors, beautiful built-ins and hand-painted walls. The home’s 11 bedrooms include a distinguished master bedroom suite boasting a sitting room with fireplace that connects to two bedrooms and also includes a dressing area, private balcony, sleeping porch and master bath. A wealth of dressing rooms, walk-in closets and sleeping porches adds to the square footage. The third floor billiard room affords westerly views of the Connecticut River Valley. A solarium fashioned after the Crystal Palace in England overlooks the delightful grounds which include a tennis court and, in its glory days, was the site of dances, garden parties and benefits for numerous charities. The home enjoys a prestigious location on the Green and is convenient to I-91 and Bradley International Airport.
