A classic New England town
Grafton, about 8 miles southeast of Worcester, blends historical charm and modern conveniences in a semi-rural setting. Here, colonial and Victorian architecture dots a forested landscape, and low stone walls run along roads that lead to a grassy town common. Surrounding The Common is a historic downtown, with old churches and a country store. According to Lisa Benway, a Realtor with RE/MAX Vision, “Grafton maintains a country feel with large lot sizes compared to neighboring towns while being in close proximity to services.”
