    What's special

    The elegant Lyman House, a gracious Federal colonial renovated and expanded in 1897 by noted Fitchburg architect Henry M. Francis, is framed by years-old noble trees and beautifully sited on a knoll on the outskirts of Ashby's charming town common. This magnificent mansion, with a great entrance hall, stately verandas, coffered ceilings, dentil moldings, transom windows, built-in cabinetry, pantry and large light-filled spaces, is reminiscent of a bygone era whose niceties will bring comfort to your spirit and peace to your soul. Among its sparkling features is a banquet-sized magazine-cover country kitchen with a generous granite island, Imperial gas stove, fir counters, farmer's sink, radiant-heated cement floor, and a multi-windowed dining area overlooking the verdant grounds below. The former grand ballroom has transitioned into a versatile modern space for music, TV, or entertaining a crowd. The home's newer features include a powerful Viesmann boiler & a 5-bedroom septic system.

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