1196 West Rd, Ashby, MA 01431

Rare waterfront mountain-view spacious Grand Cape-style home overlooks trout pond and abuts conservation land connecting to Watatic Mountain State Wildlife Area (MA & NH). Large kitchen connects with three 'open concept' 1st floor rooms, all with hardwood floors & 3-piece crown molding. North side of house has generous windows overlooking pond and woods (approx. 1,300' pond frontage - private pond shared with abutter). New white oak custom 'ribbon' staircase with wood and iron railings is show-stopper! Home custom-built by current builder-owner, including hurricane bracing. Plentiful storage area in walkup attic. Wood boiler supplements oil heat, saving homeowners thousands in fuel costs. A one-stall barn & shed near kitchen garden allow for small-scale farming. Potential au pair suite in lower level. Flat portion of lot including enough frontage for another lot (expired perk test). Fifteen minutes to Fitchburg commuter rail- closer yet to 'car share' in town center. LIVE THE DREAM
