Listing broker remarks

One of the finest Italianate Victorians in Massachusetts, this 1850 home on one of Grafton's most beautiful streets has been meticulously stewarded. Fifteen rooms retain a sweeping flying staircase, original hardware and elaborate millwork throughout, three fireplaces with period mantels, William Morris wallpapers, fine quarter -sawn oak and birch floors, and lofty ceilings. Major systems have been modernized: full electrical rewire, new steam boiler, water heaters, roofs, , copper gutters and original windows carefully restored. The renovated kitchen pairs soapstone counters with reclaimed heart pine floors; the primary bath offers a clawfoot soaking tub, walk-in shower, and radiant heat. Outside, 2 private acres feature a kidney-shaped pool, bluestone patio with firepit, screened porch, roof deck, and perennial gardens anchored by a majestic Cucumber Magnolia. This is an opportunity for someone who appreciates a level of craftsmanship that is rare to find. Rail and highway access.— Petraglia Real Estate Services
