    What's special

    Impressive craftsmanshipHardwood floorsBeautifully tiled half bathGranite countertopsStainless steel appliancesOriginal french doorsHigh ceilings
    Own a beautifully maintained historic home! Originally built in the 1880's as the stable building of the H.M Francis designed E. F. Belding mansion (the mansion was demolished circa 1980). The house underwent major remodeling into the residence it is today in 1926 (Fitchburg Historical Society has all the original 1926 blueprints by Architect and Engineer Herbert A. Foster). This Craftmanstyle home has many of its original character details and charm, including original French doors, hardware, and lighting fixtures. Move in ready - pride of ownership shines throughout. Hardwood floors, high ceilings and impressive craftsmanship greet you as you enter through the foyer. You will love the bright sunroom- perfect for relaxation and tranquility (has also been used as a great office)- and the cozy brick fireplace in the living room with French doors leading to foyer area. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a convenient laundry area just off the kitchen. The dining room boasts a unique British pub inspired bar area replete with genuine hand pull beer engines allowing yourself to pour the perfect pint! A beautifully tiled half bath finishes off the first floor. Follow the two landing staircase upstairs to find 3 generously sized bedrooms each with at least 2 closets along with a full bathroom. In addition, there is a spacious storage room behind a closet in each of the 3 bedrooms. The spacious basement is presently being used as a workshop and cask beer brewing area. It includes a sink, beer brewing equipment, cold room for beer storage and plenty of additional storage space. A detached extra-long, two car garage, built in 1926, offers even more space for storage and has a retractable awning for added protection from the elements. The outside area is ideal for entertaining or unwinding. The backyard is a true oasis with beautiful landscaping and lighting - just wait until you see it at night! The front yard is filled with perennials and vegetable gardens. Recent updates include: mini-split a/c and heat pump -2025, boiler -2021, roof -2016, water heater-2025, Located on a quiet road close to commuter rail, Rail Trail, Fitchburg State University, and area amenities. A short walk to downtown. This property is a true masterpiece awaiting your personal touch. Showings delayed until Open Houses, August 15th & 16th.
