Scandal-Born $3.5M Gilded Age Draper Estate Lists on Hopedale’s ‘Millionaire’s Row’

# Overview The Crossways, at 105 Adin Street in Hopedale, Massachusetts, is a Gilded Age mansion newly listed for $3.5 million. Built in 1914 and associated with the Draper family, the property occupies a spot on Adin Street — historically known as "Millionaire's Row" — alongside other named estates tied to the Draper family legacy.

# What the house offers This is a large residence: 10,269 square feet, 12 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. Interior spaces preserve period character while supporting modern living. Notable rooms and features include a grand foyer with the original main staircase, multiple living rooms with original detailing, a 39-foot cherrywood ballroom, a 32-foot formal dining room, a step-up library, a game room with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and a sunroom. The primary suite has a marble fireplace and an en suite bath.

Major building systems have been updated: hydro-air heating, central air conditioning, updated wiring and updated plumbing are listed in the marketing materials. The kitchen is described as fully updated.

# Grounds and setting The property sits on 2.36 acres. Landscaped features include upper and lower Italian garden areas, a fountain, an inground pool and a hot tub. These amenities create a private setting for both quiet use and entertaining. Hopedale is about 35 miles southwest of Boston and developed historically around the Draper Corporation, the town's loom-making company.

# Historical background

Later ownership includes the Mastroianni family, who moved in in 1960, and public records show the home last changed hands in 1984.

# Practical considerations for buyers

• Scale and maintenance: The house's size, period finishes and two-acre-plus grounds imply significant ongoing maintenance and operating costs. Updated systems reduce some immediate capital needs, but historic properties typically require specialized care.
• Use and layout: With 12 bedrooms and large formal rooms (ballroom, 32-ft dining room), the house suits buyers who want large-scale entertaining, multigenerational living, or adaptive reuse.

# Listing and marketing The listing agent is Nicole Willey of TEAM Metrowest. Marketing emphasizes the house's Draper family connection, preserved period detail, modernized mechanicals and the extensive formal grounds with Italian gardens and pool.
