The Historic Brooks House is lovingly restored to retain its original character including beautiful custom molding, gleaming hardwood floors, and an open floor plan glowing in natural light. The property is surrounded on three sides by conservation land for optimal privacy and enjoys sweeping views of thousands of acres including the North Common Meadow, North Common Pond, Brooks Woodland Preserve, and Wachusett Mountain, all of which are conserved in perpetuity. The property also includes an original carriage house and "well house" resembling the base of a large, antique windmill. The home features nine spacious rooms as well as an exquisite three-season conservatory and sun porch, third floor loft with two additional rooms, attic, basement space, numerous closets, built-in window seats and four working fireplaces. Note, the Brooks Woodland Preserve was recently voted best hike by the Boston Globe.
