Offered for sale as a New England Farmstead, this tranquil place instantly transports you out of a world of suburban sprawl back to a rural landscape. With acres of privacy, this antique 18th century center chimney Cape has a retreat like setting. The rooms are sunny and the country kitchen spacious. There are several fireplaces and three full baths, a lightfilled sunroom and quiet retreat spaces - all which give this home lots of comfortable living area. Additionally there is a 24 x 32 ft. two-story barn, built in the 1980s, a two stall horse stable, a garage bay in the barn and a fully equipped sugar house. With about 10 acres of fields, meadows, gardens, and forest ringed by classic New England fieldstone walls, it is easy to imagine a simpler and quieter lifestyle to be enjoyed here.
The house has seven rooms including three bedrooms. Historic interior details include some raised panel doors, wide plank flooring, and some original split-lath plaster. There are pleasant pastoral views of gardens and meadows from every window.
The offering of this unique property creates a significant opportunity to own a New England landscape affording a high quality of life and reasonable commutes to Boston or Worcester.
Top Five
Reasons people choose to live in an Antique
or Historic Home
1. Antique Homeowners appreciate and desire quality and craftsmanship.
Whether you love hand crafted 18th century woodworking or find Queen Anne Victorian elements to your liking, there is no doubt that you will find many details in historic homes unlikely to be found in anything built after World War II, unless you are a Rockefeller.
2. Antique Homeowners want to find a house in the most desirable location.
Both 18th and 19th century homes have most of the prime real estate spots locked up - they were here first - whether in the country or in town.
3. Antique Homeowners want to be good to their planet.
Buying an antique home is the ultimate in green thinking - recycling at its peak. You can retrofit even the most primitive house to be energy efficient to boot.
4. Antique Homeowners are looking for a connection to Place.
Antique homes have history and a story to tell. Preserving a slice of the past gives us perspective, with a reason to celebrate who we are, and where we might go.
5. Antique Homeowners don’t want to wait 50 years for their landscape to mature.
Whether it is lichen encrusted stonewalls, or century old Maple trees, nothing beats a well developed mature landscape befitting a great homestead.
So what are you waiting for?
