About this home

Unmatched Charm! From the beautiful wood floors to the rich woodwork, this 4BR, 3 Full BA Colonial home offers the charm, character, and craftsmanship of an era long ago. Built in 1989, the owners acquired the property in 2003 and meticulously renovated by hand to create a reproduction of an 18th century homestead inspired by Freeman Farm at Old Sturbridge Village. The attention to detail and pride of ownership are evident in every room. Imagine entertaining in a luxurious historic space with the modern conveniences you expect. Enjoy the privacy of 2.85 acres with a quiet evening on your porch. Wake up to gorgeous sunlight and peaceful surroundings. Tell stories around the hearth. This home includes a ground level in-law suite that has been completely renovated. Perfect for multi-generational needs. Heating, roofing, well and septic are all updated. Petersham is home to considerable conservation land. Only 5 minutes from Rte. 2, this location is the right mix of privacy and proximity
