About this home
ATTENTION BUILDERS & INVESTORS! A truly unique opportunity awaits at 254 West Street in beautiful Petersham! Set on 3.24 acres of picturesque pastureland, this historic property features two homes on one lot, offering endless possibilities for those with vision. The main home is a 19th-century antique with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and generously sized rooms. Built on land purchased by the original owners through a grant from King George before the birth of our nation, this property offers a fascinating connection to the past. While the main home will require extensive restoration and may be a candidate for redevelopment, a beautiful chimney has been rebuilt and capped in recent years. The second home offers 4 bedrooms but is also in poor condition and may be best suited for removal. The true treasure is the land itself, featuring open fields, a natural spring, and a stream running alongside the property. Surrounded by conservation land, this exceptional setting offers privacy, scenic beauty, and a rare opportunity to invest in a remarkable piece of Petersham. Perched on a knoll overlooking historic pastureland, enjoy distant hill views and spectacular sunsets. Bring your vision and explore the possibilities!
