Looking for a manageable, historic property to create a home? The Dutchie Church encompasses 1,200 square feet of ground floor with enough height to build a second-floor loft. The interior is a clear span with abundant windows and volume to create a smart-size homestead. A fresh septic study determined there are two approved sites to provide a septic mound. Public water is available in the street or stay off-grid with your own well. The wood shingle roof was redone expertly in 2006. The structure is in good order and needs a capable hand to reimagine the interior architecture into a cozy home. The historic facade includes a simple deed easement to preserve the basic historic geometry. The one-acre property includes private woods and a small cemetery. The Worcester Historical Society is selling the property after years of curating the mid-19th century church. The Dutchie Church was a stop on the underground railroad, sequestering traveling freedom-seekers by way of a hidden underground room and secret exit tunnel. Come tour the property and see what is possible for your home project.
