811 Walnut Hill Rd, Barre, MA 01005

Start with the post and beam frame of a wonderful old barn, put it in the hands of a master carpenter who wants a home for his family, and this is what you can get. Architectural style is a cape outside, with a fabulous farmers porch in front and a screened porch off large family room in back. Step inside and it is open spaces and exposed beams everywhere. Much of the oak for floor joists, cherry for the kitchen cabinets, and other raw materials are from this land. Careful solar orientation gains about 30% of heating needs by passive gain, the rest of heat needs provided by a 2007 Newmark dual fuel furnace that consumes 2.5 cord OR 640 gals fuel oil per year per owner. Set well back from the road screened by hardwoods, paved level drive, and native perennials for landscaping. 2014 architectural roof, 2014 water filtration system. Three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, another full bath downstairs. Clean, dry cellar with insulated walls ready to make of it what you need.
