At the end of a stone walkway, a perfectly symmetrical antique Colonial rises with a classic, deep red facade, 12×12 windows, and brick chimney. A beloved antique, 177 Edmands Road in Framingham comes with that period charm (circa 1771) with lots of practical updates and several acres of utter tranquility.
The property is also set up to make your backyard barn dreams come true — a post-and-beam three-stall barn with direct turnout to a large paddock means that you can do the morning feed and walk back to sip coffee on your patio. Prefer to tinker with vintage cars or woodworking instead? There’s a five-carriage bay garage on site as well.
Wide-plank floors, huge brick hearths, full-wall period paneling, and built-ins throughout remind you that this home’s been around for a long, long time. That sense of continuity is one of the best things about antique Colonials but we’re also loving the updated, luxury kitchen with Wolf range and hardy soapstone counters.
Downstairs, a formal dining room joins a den and a living room, both with fireplaces, as well as a bedroom suite with bench seating and built-ins serving as a library. Three more bedrooms, including the primary, share the second floor.
Open house hours are Saturday, June 8 from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
On the market for $1,098,000, the sale of the property is represented by Peter “Pete” Leis with Coldwell Banker Realty, 617-302-6896.
