Welcome to the Rice House c.1707 - an amazing Antique waiting for your final restoration. Set on 4 bucolic acres, the home has been updated with plumbing, electrical, heating, roof work, paint, some windows, pool filter and inspection, gutters, and a passing Title V. Interior needs considerable work, but historic features abound; original wide plank flooring, a beehive oven and working fireplace in the kitchen, exposed beams, and a craftsman built fieldstone foundation. The attached barn has been converted to live/work space, with an open floor plan. The loft looks over live/work space, with French doors on the main floor opening to a wrap-around deck, looking to the scenic backyard and in-ground pool. The 4 acre lot is impressive, and is bounded by the Assabet River. Despite it's rural beauty, commuter routes and the T are just minutes away. See attached documents for details on work completed, and don't miss this opportunity.
A unique opportunity presents itself with this rare 1707 farmhouse with 4 acres in Westborough. Consider researching the possibility of an extra buidable lot by contacting the town. Please be careful when walking in garage loft and going down basement stairs. The first and last steps are tricky. There is no public sewer in this area. Stops at Powder Hill Condos.
