Property Description

This is a rare opportunity to own a spacious, charming classic colonial right in the heart of the town center. This stately 5BD, 2,700+ sq.ft home retains its 1800s character and invites a new chapter of timeless living. Historically known as the residence of Joel Nurse, inventor of the cast iron plow, its rich past is evident through features like beautiful hardwood floors, detailed wainscoting, and elegant moldings and built-ins. The practical layout includes a versatile bed/bath suite located above the two-car garage, perfect for an au pair suite, home office, or potential ADU. The kitchen has already been updated with newer quartz countertops, cooktop, sink, and faucet. Enjoy the bright sunroom overlooking a picturesque, stone-walled backyard with an organic garden. Living here means enjoying the convenience of being close to restaurants, the library, and the town common, with easy access to major highways like Route 290, Route 9, and the Mass Pike.
