This (5)BR(2)BA farmhouse is an opportunity to acquire such a vintage property of one of the early settlers to the Town of Shirley. Although the town records state 1930 as its age, "1918" was written on an interior wall.Shirley, once part of Groton was named after the former Governor of MA, William Shirley, who served between (1741-1756).Shirley settled in 1720, and incorporated in 1753.Whether you are a history buff, or not, this home has been revitalized for today's comfort with a New Roof, Rebuilt side Porch, Harvey insulated vinyl Windows, Painted inside & out, Maple floors on 1st & Oak floors on 2nd have been Refinished, New luxury vinyl in kitchen, as well as New Granite Countertops, New Cabinet doors & both bathrooms have been updated.
