$3.495 Million Deerfield Mansion Was Once an Orphanage

From elegant and stately mansions to modern, environmentally-friendly abodes, The North Shore is chock-full of one-of-a-kind homes and some of the time the home has a lot of history to it.

Each week, Patch will feature one ‘Wow House’ that caught our attention. This week Patch has an offering listed Coldwell Banker at 690 Brierhill Road that was once an orphanage. 

Originally built as a luxury home, in 1918, it became a home for children, according to information provided by agents Michele Vold and Linda Antokal. That’s when Deerfield had a population of 610 and the arrival of the children doubled the size of the Village’s grammar school. 

Listed at $3.495 million, this dream home boasts 18 rooms including seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, nine fireplaces and a grand ballroom.

Here, take a peek inside, and see what this high-end price tag fetches in 60015.
