About this House

Location, location, location! Close to the New Salem line, this older lady has good bones and an interesting back story (was a post office!) Recent updates to heating system (new Roth oil tank and forced hot air furnace 2021), well pump (2015), roof (2011), bath (2015) and Generac generator. Some elbow grease needed to restore this piece of history, as it will not qualify for FHA,VA, MassHousing. A great project! More pictures to come!

    "I know there are lots of positive community resources for families in this town. We have a nice children’s playground. There are many lakes around Athol and surrounding areas. Also leads to camping for some outdoor fun. "

    "Its improving quickly with all the new construction.I've noticed a hudge difference just in the past year.So many new jobs available.That gives opportunity and people are improving their lives.So many less people just hanging around midday.Less poverty means less crime.Seem like Athol will be viewed in a much more positive way.I ended up here and hated it.I'm actually able to leave now and don't think I want to."

    "Athol has ‘Town’ buses for the main roads. If you need a pick-up in the country there is a local small van that will pick you up for $3.00, you need to call the night before and there is always Uber. One really needs personal transportation, as everything is far apart, not walkable."

    "Athol seems to have a lot more drug activity at much younger ages.I honestly think they need a Boys and Girls club.Places these kids can go that are free.Its a very low income area and this makes things much harder on teenagers Bowling alley or roller skating rink would be a good start.There are so many vacant buildings."
