Featuring Tiffany-designed mosaic tiles, wallpaper and more, the landmarked home was first unveiled in 1902.
Despite the renovations, many of the home’s original details will ideally remain in place. Tiffany took inspiration for the mansion from ancient Greece, the Far East and even the Chicago World’s Fair. The impressive foyer’s white marble staircase showcases Tiffany mosaic tiles, and a trompe l’oeil Greek temple is seen through the proscenium arch. Stained-glass windows and skylights, beautiful plasterwork and elaborate mantels are just a few additional highlights.
“The character of the home is what really makes it special,” David J. Hacin, the principal and creative director of Hacin + Associates, the architecture firm tasked with updating the Ayer Mansion,in a statement. “It immediately struck me as both modern and rooted in the construct of the Back Bay at the same time, and that is really unique.”
The home was originally designed for the businessman Frederick Ayer and his wife Ellen, who commissioned Tiffany for the design. While better known for his leaded-glass lamps, Tiffany had a hand in everything from the exterior of the house to the decorative objects and wallpaper. In 2005, the property was designated a National Historic Landmark.The Ayer Mansion is being marketed by Ruth Kennedy Sudduth and Greta Gustafson of LandVest.
. The two men had initially planned to convert the property into condos, but after seeing the extraordinary home and all of its historic details, they thought otherwise.
