The dining room is made for gathering, with an inviting built-in bar and beautiful built-in cabinetry creating a distinctive entertaining area. Upstairs are 3 generously sized bedrooms, each with at least 2 closets, a full bath, and access to additional spacious storage areas. The basement provides even more room for hobbies, projects and storage, with a sink, workshop space and unusual cold room—ideal for wine or beverage cellaring, garden produce, home-canned goods, overflow food storage or overwintering bulbs and plants. Outside, established growing areas have been developed for fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers, complemented by attractive landscaping and outdoor lighting. The detached 2-car garage is a substantial structure with electrical service, offering parking, storage, workshop or hobby possibilities and potential future ADU use under Massachusetts' statewide Accessory Dwelling Unit law, subject to buyer due diligence, permitting and applicable requirements. Originally constructed in the 1880s as the stable for the H.M. Francis-designed E.F. Belding mansion, the home was extensively remodeled into a residence in 1926. Original French doors, hardware and lighting remain, and the Fitchburg Historical Society holds the original 1926 blueprints. Major updates include mini-split A/C and heat pump (2025), water heater (2025), boiler (2021) and roof (2016).
