Listing broker remarks

A Landmark Victorian on the Square. One of West Brookfield's most recognizable homes, this striking 1890 Victorian anchors the town square with its distinctive, eye-catching color scheme. Inside, 3,936 sq ft unfolds across a grand entry hall and soaring 11-foot ceilings — architectural details rarely found today. The home offers an in-law suite or residential rental apartments, with two separately metered units, each with independent heating, ideal for multi-generational living or rental income. Has handicap ramp access. Extensive upgrades — including a premium EcoStar synthetic slate roof (75-year rated) and fresh exterior paint — keep the home as functional as it is beautiful. The flexible layout can be reconfigured to the new owner's liking and upgrade tastes, with potential for up to 6 bedrooms. Rare chance to own a true landmark. Bring your imagination!— Daniel Stroe Realty
