About this House

Have you dreamed of moving to the countryside? Here is your chance to own 13 pristine acres in Townsend. The parcel abuts a State Forest and wildlife sightings are not unusual. The spacious home is nicely set back from the road and neighbors, and it has great natural lighting. The highlight is the recently remodeled custom gourmet kitchen with an island, stainless steel appliances and beautiful quartz counters. The open floor plan is designed for entertaining. There are 4 bedrooms, and the room labeled as an office could easily be used as a bedroom or converted into a master suite. There is also the potential to create an in-law space with a separate entrance. The finished basement offers additional living space and lots of storage. The screened in patio is great to relax in the evening and listen to the birds. Last year the owner installed solar panels and so far they have received credits every month from the utility company. Showings begin at the open house on August 17.

    "Quiet near farmland and state forest. Good neighbors and not too much traffic. Decent sized pieces of land."
  • Linn C.
    "Townsend is a pretty New England town west of Boston. It is noted for it's quiet, friendly people, good schools, and easy access to nearby shopping in either Leominster or Southern NH. The Squannicook River runs cool and clear and offers excellent fishing! Townsend's open space is protected by State forests and Townsend Conservation Land Trust lands and offers excellent hiking trails. Plans are in the works for a new regional high school to replace the existing North Middlesex Regional HS which also services Ashby and Pepperell. Less than 20 minutes to MBTA commuter station in Fitchburg. Townsend's new library and senior center are fantastic and conveniently located near the Town center. In the summer the Townsend Military band plays on the commons every Thursday evening. "
  • Ed F.
    "The area is protected from any new construction front, back and all open land area. There a lot of land and wooded surrounding areas. Lots of privacy, low traffic in development and traffic mostly is from the residence. Quiet, wooded and country with lots of privacy. Great neighborhood for adults and children alike"
