Listing broker remarks

Here is an opportunity to get into a highly sought after Ranch style home in the quaint and historic Town of Hardwick. Home is set on over an acre of land and priced at a very affordable price point. Owners have been happy to call this home for more than 35 years! One living living makes life so much easier without stairs and also makes for a perfect starter home with plenty of room to grow. House is set back off of the road with both a large front yard and back yard. As you pull dow the driveway you enter off of a large wood deck with plenty of space to gather and ideal for entertaining and those summer BBQ's. Slider from deck leads into the kitchen with a working wood fireplace! Off kitchen in one direction is a formal dining room which opens into a spacious living room. Off living room is a huge family room with a pellet stove and sliders that open onto the spacious level backyard. On opposite side of house off the dining room and kitchen are 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom. Perfect space to wind down with the activity of living room and family room on the opposite side of the house. Hardwick is a town with a long history and known for rural preservation(East Quabbin Land Trust is based out of Hardwick) and easy access to the rail trial and hundreds of acres of protected land for peaceful hikes or bike rides. For commuters the house is located on the Barre side of town and would easily work for commuters who need to get into Worcester and also works for people needing to get towards the Amherst direction. Whether its the option of downsizing into something easier to take care of, no stairs, looking for a great 3 bedroom house in a perfect location, or looking to start a family(Pets always count!) this home checks all the boxes. Owners are sad to say goodbye to the house but not so sad to say goodbye to the New England weather. This won't last long!— William Neylon Real Est.
