The Wyck Estate in Manchester-by-the Sea, Massachusetts is another old beauty that has been on the market for a while. It had been on the market for at least a year when I first wrote about it in 2005. This is one of the most beautiful homes on Masschusetts’s North Shore. Built in 1912, the main residence is a replica of a French chateau created using bricks imported from France. The 7.85 acre compound also includes tennis courts, a private beach, boat home, children’s playhouse and a filtered saltwater pool. The home has been owned by the same person since 1944 so it maintains its original charm including marble fireplaces, plenty of carved wood and ornate stonework. This grand summer estate was on the market for $23.5 million three years ago. Now it looks like the carriage home is being sold in a separate parcel of 2.1 acres and the main home is for sale for $13.25 million.

The Detroit Free Press (of course) reports that many Baby Boomers are getting into the Classic Vehicle business. And there are lots of businesses you can start that relate to Classic Cars:
