Great PRICE IMPROVEMENT on this large early Colonial that was recently FEATURED in the BOSTON GLOBE MAGAZINE! This home is rich in history and has been graciously expanded and thoughtfully updated over the years. Its 18th century character still vividly shines through today. Inside, the painted warm tones blend perfectly with the hardwood floors and moldings. Newer appliances adorn the spacious, oversized kitchen and compliment its historic large fireplace and beehive bake oven. Views of the gardens are an instant connection to the outdoors. Formal fireplaced dining and living rooms, two first floor bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry room complete the first floor spaces. A walk up the front stair leads to a center hall flanked by two large, fireplaced bedrooms. Accessible from the kitchen staircase are a third bedroom, a full bath, and a lovely office. Outside, a brick patio and two sheds accompany mature gardens, trees, and grassy fields. Boston and Worcester are both commutable.
