Situated just off the village common, this lovely antique home has been extensively renovated and offers a balance of original charm and modern day comfort. The home’s back entrance opens into the mudroom off the large farm kitchen which features beamed ceilings, stainless appliances and a Jotul wood stove. A Jotul gas fireplace lends a classic ambience to the living room while the homes two porches, including a sleeping porch, offer cozy relaxation! This 3 bdrm, 2 bath house showcases a new standing seam metal roof which will last for generations. The large post and beam barn accompanies a smaller barn that sports a Vermont Castings wood stove and could be an ideal shop, studio, potting shed or stable. Boasting delightful perennial gardens, this outstanding location consists of 2.7 remarkable acres in close proximity to the Quabbin Reservoir which offers an abundance of outdoor, year-round recreational activities!

What I Love About the Home

We were drawn to this house because of its historical characteristics and its proximity to the Town Common. We sit in the large country kitchen and delight in watching the birds that visit the perennial gardens all year long. Reading on the wonderful sleeping porch is a favorite past time of ours in the warmer months and reading by the fire is simply sublime in the winter. The tranquil land offers Christmas trees, apple trees and a bountiful raspberry patch. We love and appreciate the quintessential New England stone walls that are reminiscent of a by-gone era. Consider this spectacular location for your own agricultural pursuits! The two barns on the property (the larger is 30 x 30 post and beam construction), provide ample space for other farming endeavors. The large encompassed field includes a smaller, two stall barn. When the day is done, we enjoy watching spectacular sunsets while relaxing on the patio! We love living in this house that has so much to offer!
