JP's Own Downton Abbey For Sale - For $5.5 Million

WOW House: It comes with a pool and almost 5 acres not to mention a heavy price tag and a fashionable history.

JAMAICA PLAIN, MA — The realtor describes this JP home (yep, it really is in JP) as local Downton Abbey replica. Built in 1895, it certainly has some history and is made of the region's Puddingstone. It's also got nine bedrooms and seven bathrooms not to mention a library and a sitting room and a pool out back.

Who is selling? Debi Greenberg of Louis Boston. For those of you who know fashion, you likely need no introduction. But a refresher: Greenberg was the owner of Louis Boston, an internationally recognized specialty retailer that had operated for nearly 90 years in Boston handed down from generation to generation until it closed near the end of 2015, early 2016. In January she opened a shop in New York.

But back to the home. This is both the largest home for sale currently in JP and the most expensive, according to Realtor.com. Speaking of which, check out what the realtor has to say about it:
