Property Description

Classic brick Colonial overlooking the Fitzwilliam Town Common, offering historic character, generous living space, and remarkable flexibility. Originally built as a single-family home, the property was divided down the middle to create a two-family residence, with each side offering two bedrooms and two baths. Separate utilities make the current configuration particularly convenient for an owner-occupant seeking rental income, extended-family living, or an investment property. The home's original character remains evident throughout, including beautiful wood floors, original built-ins, multiple fireplaces, large rooms, and bright front rooms with impressive windows overlooking the village green. Each side has a first-floor half bath, spacious living areas, and its own front and back staircase. One side features an eat-in kitchen and a large bathroom/laundry combination with a soaking tub. There is plenty of storage throughout, along with a large mudroom, screened porch, and attached two-car garage. The town lot provides room for gardening, outdoor space, and plenty of parking. Above it all, the large attic offers an abundance of additional storage and the potential for future finished space. The property could continue as a two-family home, providing the opportunity for rental income, or could be returned to its original single-family configuration. With some updating, this handsome brick Colonial could be brought back to its former charm while retaining the character and architectural details that make older New England homes so appealing. Located right in the heart of Fitzwilliam's quintessential New England village center, this is an opportunity to own a substantial historic home in a truly distinctive setting.
