About this home
The venerable 18th century front door has greeted guests for 250 years upon entering this significant Georgian home... A remarkably intact antique with important original features throughout... 4 fireplaces, wide pine flooring, Norfolk latches, 19th century wallpapers, fine dentil molding and a myriad of other touches remain... An Historic Deerfield curator visit from 2013 documented fine extant marbleized baseboards upstairs. Deerfield may have influenced an earlier,1950s Colonial Revival reworking of the charming kitchen.. 11 rooms, workshops, buttery and a very cozy reading loft. Three level 32 X 42 New England barn has two main levels plus several lofts and two tack rooms. Over 4 acres with abundant road frontage to guarantee privacy.. Sit in the front yard and take in the glorious view across the lower meadow of the Millers River. A truly rare opportunity for an Early American home connoisseur in bringing back the glory of this property. Mixed use zoning, Town water and sewer, Rte 2A exposure and the detached barn could open many creative uses. Located near the Pioneer Valley and the Quabbin reservoir, yet minutes to highway, shopping and town center. Home will require a fairly involved restoration in and out limiting financing options. Be the next chapter of this property's history.
