A Fieldstone Mansion in Ashland

This Ashland fieldstone mansion was built by railroad tycoon Homer Loring just one year after the publication of “The Great Gatsby.’’ It is currently owned by artist Faith Schwartz, who spent years renovating the property with chandeliers, adding ceiling medallions, and adding various colorful shades to the home’s interior.

The home is located at 579 Chestnut Street in Ashland. It is listed at $2.1 million, has six bedrooms, seven baths, and offers more than 5,600 square feet of interior space.

Stone lions on front porch greet visitors to this stunning Ashland mansion.

The home’s foyer has unique dimple-plastered walls that help to deaden sound. An arched ceiling has been hand-painted by the owner.

The incredible living room evokes the feeling of an aristocrat’s parlor. The room has a textured ceiling and wood panel walls that were obtained from the French Consulate in Boston and were restored and painted with floral images by Schwartz.

The incredible ballroom is adjacent to the living room. This room features 13-foot ceilings, mahogany walls, exposed beams, and built-in shelving.

The accented-ceramic tile floor of the ballroom can be seen through an ornate iron gate next to the room. A sitting area by the windows can be seen next to the room’s grand piano.

The fireplace in the long, formal dining room is encased in fieldstone.

French doors connect the dining room to the home’s amazing greenhouse.

The kitchen also has a center island, a stainless steel stove, and a dark granite prep counter.

The kitchen is highlighted by an inverted, embossed tin ceiling with a hand-painted floral pattern.

The kitchen also has large glass doors that offer views of the stunning grounds outside.

The large eat-in kitchen includes a butler’s pantry with a glass ceiling.

Flagstone stairs lead up to the home’s second floor.

The second floor has shades of gold, crown molding, and floral wallpaper.

The home’s master bedroom has cloth wall coverings, a bath suite with the original soaking tub, and is the only room with access to the veranda.

Views of the home’s sprawling three acres can be enjoyed from the master bedroom’s veranda.

The grounds include a cement pool which is in need of updating.

An enormous walk-in closet and dressing room is also part of the upstairs master suite.

Two of the home’s large children’s bedrooms have hardwood floors, their own baths, and get plenty of light. One has access to a balcony.

A gigantic deck with a hot tub is just off of the master bedroom.

A second-floor doorway leads to the servants’ quarters, which include a kitchenette, three bedrooms, and a bath.

The front yard of the home has plenty of decorative ornaments that highlight the property’s rich heritage.

An iron gate is found at the home’s front entrance.

The home also has a fishpond.

The fieldstone home, which sits on more than three acres, is just as enjoyable to view from the backyard.
