Listing broker remarks

Seller is offering a 1-year home warranty with an accepted offer! Step into a rare piece of New England history where timeless craftsmanship meets modern efficiency. Hand-hewn beams, wide-plank wood floors, original stone and brick hearths, custom built-ins, and multiple fireplaces create warmth and character that simply can't be reproduced. Set on 3.45 private acres, this remarkable property offers sweeping views of open fields and rolling countryside, best enjoyed from the sun-filled enclosed porch. Outside, a classic New England barn and multiple outbuildings provide endless opportunities for hobbies, storage, workshops, studios, or future restoration projects. High-efficiency solar panels have consistently produced enough energy to eliminate the current owners' electric bills, delivering exceptional savings. History, land, charm, and convenience come together in one extraordinary property just minutes from the MBTA commuter rail, Routes 2 and 140, skiing, hiking trails, and more— Keller Williams Realty
