Description

Amazing opportunity to own a classic New England Victorian with easy highway access and all the extras. This proud home has been with us since 1855 and retains many of her original details. You will be breathless walking through the door to the wide sweeping hardwood staircase with gentle natural lighting from the stain glass window hallway above. Delightful original pocket doors allow you to enter the fireplace study or the front to back living room with pellet stove for the chilly New England evenings. Looking forward to our warmer summer months you can enjoy the pool and deck off the large kitchen in back or sip lemonade from the 3 season porch overlooking the yard. With five bedrooms, 3 full baths and a walk up attic for more space it will be hard to run out of room! Full walk out basement with workshop and high ceilings allows for the hobbyist if the two story barn (wired) is not enough. Updated electric, plumbing, heating and bathrooms. USDA qualifying! Too many details to list but get in before this goes live on MLS and avoid the buyer competition for this great home!

This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

"The dog park is well intentioned but lacks shade. Dog owners don’t seem to pick up after their dogs as much as other communities, as well. "

"I currently live here and am only moving because I am remarrying. Ware is a terrific quiet little town. The peacefulness when in my yard is hard to find in other areas. I love the closeness to the Quabbin Reservoir for hiking. Shopping and restaurants are near by."
