Set on an oversized lot just off the historic village center of Sturbridge, this 1800 center chimney home is a very good example of an intact Colonial. Contemporary upgrades compliment the wide pine floors, multiple fireplaces, built-in cupboards, and other period details. A fireplaced living room with period wall stenciling and built-in cupboard, country kitchen with stainless steel appliances and soapstone countertop, formal dining room with built-in corner display cabinet and fireplace, cozy den/office, large family room with views of the back yard, and full bathroom make up the first floor. Upstairs, the center hall is flanked by front bedrooms, each with walk-in closet. The large room in the rear of the house also attaches to the fourth bedroom. A full bathroom completes the second story. The large attached barn rambles through large and small spaces, perfect for the craftsmen or hobbyist. Outside, a large grassy yard is nicely bordered by woods, adding a natural layer of privacy.
