Listing broker remarks

The house is located a short distance to the Brimfield Common and has been partly restored by the former long time Curator of Architecture at Sturbridge Village. Many original details have been preserved including the large center chimney with its keeping room hearth and beehive oven. There are raised panel endwalls, pine floors, 12 over 12 windows, a domed ceiling in the guest bedroom with original plaster and many other good antique details. These are complemented by an updated electric service, FHA heating, Title V Septic and a new water heater. A perfect in village location with a level private yard area. This home offers an opportunity for further restoration but is comfortably useable.— Petraglia Real Estate Services
