About this home

The amazing Thomas Brown House is a magnificent and historic residence in Worcester's West Side, offering 5,500+ sq ft of flexible living space in the Hammond Heights neighborhood near Elm Park. This Colonial Revival features 17 rooms, 8+ bedrooms, 4 full baths, two kitchens, 5 fireplaces, a detached two-car garage, and seven, off-street parking spaces. The old world charm meets full modern updates in this elegant and impressive space. The architectural details include crown mouldings, raised paneled walls, beamed ceilings, pocket doors, arched doorways, built-ins, stained glass, decorative windows, wainscoting, ceramic tile, hardwood floors, and more. In a highly desirable neighborhood with limited large-format inventory, this is a rare chance to acquire a substantial Worcester asset with meaningful versatility and multiple paths to value creation. Recorded as a two family, yet currently used as a single family residence, the property supports coliving-style configurations and presents a compelling opportunity for investors, owner-operators, and buyers seeking flexible residential use. The scale, room count, parking, and dual-kitchen layout create a strong foundation for your luxurious lifestyle, whether for a single family household, or shared living arrangement, or for other income-oriented strategies, in accordance with RL-7 zoning.
