What? Own a piece of American history? Preposterous! Except when it's not......Presenting MAPLECROFT- the Queen Anne Victorian Mansion that once belonged to LIZZIE BORDEN who was accused and acquitted of the brutal ax murders of her Father and Step Mother. This was her final resting place that she lived in until her death, NOT the house where the murders happened. Nestled in the historic Higlands District, this impeccably restored high style victorian art piece will bring you back to a gentler time but with today's modern conveniences. With just under 4000 thousand square feet of history, a few features you will enjoy are 6 fireplaces, 7 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, tin ceilings in the kitchen, coffered ceilings, walnut wainscoting, inlaid parquet floors, stained glass, and exquisite mantle pieces that some say hold a hidden meaning. Maplecroft is being offered fully furnished with exceptional period pieces that speak to the very special past inhabitants of this home. Serious inquiries only
