About This Home

This vintage Americana residence is tucked away on nearly an acre of land, conveniently located near the town center, inviting its residents to enjoy leisurely strolls downtown and offers easy access to community events. Stepping into the main house, one is embraced by the echoes of history. Original wood floors, windows, and door hardware stand as enduring tributes to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A spacious eat-in kitchen complemented by a formal dining room graced with elegant French doors provides a touch of privacy and sophistication. Adding to the property's allure is a two-story carriage house which held the horses of neighboring schoolteachers. Still retaining its original flooring and barn doors, this structure offers a captivating view of Montague in the late 1800's.
