Listing broker remarks

Steeped in history and filled with timeless character, this stately antique Colonial once served as the church parsonage and was built with an impressive level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. From the moment you enter, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, beautiful woodwork, and hardwood flooring throughout much of the home create a sense of warmth and grandeur. The spacious living room is anchored by a handsome wood-burning fireplace and features abundant natural light along with direct access to the welcoming front porch. A large formal dining room provides an elegant setting for holidays and gatherings, while the first-floor office or library offers a quiet and functional space for working from home, reading, or pursuing creative interests. The generously sized kitchen includes ample eat-in space and connects to a traditional butler’s pantry with convenient first-floor laundry. A secondary back staircase located just off the kitchen is another wonderful reminder of the home’s historic origins and thoughtful design. Upstairs, the enormous primary suite is a true highlight, offering exceptional space, hardwood flooring, and its own fireplace. The additional rooms continue the home’s impressive scale, with high ceilings and period details carried throughout the upper level. A staircase leads to the expansive third-floor attic, where multiple separate rooms provide abundant storage and intriguing possibilities for future use. Outside, the large and spacious backyard offers plenty of room to garden, entertain, play, or simply relax. Conveniently located with quick access to downtown Monson, this distinctive property combines historic beauty with everyday functionality. With a newer furnace and a long history of careful ownership, 11 High Street is ready for its next owners to appreciate its craftsmanship, preserve its story, and make it their own.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Western MA
