About this home

Like an estate in a storybook, this custom-built Colonial sits as a beacon of town history and beauty in a highly-desired Lunenburg neighborhood. The inside reflects the stately grandeur of the outside view you have as you pull into the driveway and pass the well-kept grounds. With architectural details and bright sunlight throughout, the appeal of the property is unique and makes it a must-see. This treasure is within walking distance of schools and the town center and boasts the quality details that highlight the home’s majesty. A hanging staircase, hand-hewn beams, wide pine flooring, custom cabinetry and a bright conservatory are just a few of the gems that you will discover in this property. It is awaiting the right person to come and breathe life back into its walls.
