About this House

ATTENTION car enthusiasts, collectors, woodworkers, this is more than a home, it’s an ultimate live-in workspace. Set on a beautiful ½+ acre lot, this Ranch offers a front-to-back living room, a quaint kitchen with a slider to the back deck, 2 bedrooms and a full bath. What truly sets this property apart is the massive 50x100 attached heated garage with two bay door entrances, with a conventional door in between both. With over 3,100 sq ft above, exposed lofted rafters for added storage, and an expansive open bay below featuring a car lift, and space for up to 10 vehicles this is a rare setup designed to support serious hobbies, business needs, or your growing collection. The exterior offers just as much, with mature trees, ample parking, and a quiet setting that still keeps you close to it all just minutes from the NH line and outdoor destinations like Watatic Mountain. Whether you’re storing, building, creating, or collecting this property could be just what you've been looking for!

    "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"
  • christina_g_bowers
    "I live in Townsend and it is a fabulous, quiet, family friendly community. Only an hour and a half from Boston and close to all amentities (bowling, restaurants, movie theaters, shopping)."
