About this home

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live on one of the loveliest properties in Princeton, on 15 pastoral acres with frog pond, inground pool, raspberry & blackberry patches, rolling grassy meadows, a small greenhouse, & a supersized barn w/ running water, heat & hay storage, suitable for horses or other grazing animals. The barn could be adapted into an artist's studio, workshop, or hangar for your antique cars or toys. The 18th century farmhouse has retained its classic charm & character, with beautifully maintained pumpkin pine floors, exposed hand-hewn beams, custom built-in cabinets & a newer 3rd floor studio with panoramic views. Recent updates include two renovated full baths, a new dishwasher, and generator. A new 4-bedroom septic system will be installed prior to closing. Close to the Thomas Prince School, home of the much-praised STEAM program. Town-wide broadband to be installed and within 15 minutes to the new Wachusett commuter rail station with service to North Station.
