True antique aficionados will value this blend of an era of yesteryear with today's touches. With many recent updates, you'll appreciate being able to pull up & simply enjoy your new home. Updated eat-in kitchen & a 3-bedroom Title 5 in hand! Other improvements inc. energy efficient, brand new tankless water heater, beautifully refinished original wide pine floors that show their true luster & of course, fresh paint throughout. Relax on your farmer's porch; the traditional, curved stairway to the bedrooms adds a classic touch. Much of its vintage appeal remains, incl. original hardware, leaded windows, & handmade woodwork. This bucolic, charming community is widely known for multiple trails, three waterfalls, campgrounds, and a true back-to-nature vibe, yet only about an hour to vibrant Worcester. Part of the Royalston Historic District in "The Common" that still maintains its authenticity while being a home you can enjoy for many more years to come!

Quintessential c.1837 Village Colonial set in the Royalston Historic District. (Yankee Magazine once called Royalston Common one of the most unspoiled in all of New England.)

Enjoy the satisfaction of reviving this architectural jewel while increasing value, at the same time. Generous front porch, eye catching turned staircase, pine flooring and wainscoting. Passing Title V in hand. Will not qualify for FHA/VA financing.
