About this home

Look no further if a place of peaceful privacy and amazing views of Mt. Wachusett, sprawling fields and meadows, and moonlit skies is what you're seeking. It's all here. Set back from the road, across a narrow brook, this home overlooks the iconic hilltop Mason Farm, and more than 120 acres of conserved land--a backyard playground for people and wandering wildlife. This home has many updates that will add to the comfort and joy of living there, including a new high-efficiency Buderus heating system (2018), central vac, tilt-in Marvin windows, new granite countertops, custom solid core birch cabinets, new hardwood floors, beautifully polished pine flooring hewn from logs from this property, new wall-to-wall carpeting in the 2nd floor bedrooms, and handsome new black shutters. This home is all about loving life in the country, with a Franklin-stove equipped vaulted family room that has glass doors to the deck so you can savor the ever-changing views beyond the stone walls.
