About this home

Welcome to Lilac Farm in the quaint country town of Hampden MA. Own a piece of History with this lovingly maintained Antique Cape that dates back to simpler times. This farm has no doubt seen many uses over the past almost 300 years, the present owners enjoyed keeping bees, sheep, horses and tending to the old fruit trees. The lovely wrap around front porch is the perfect spot to sip your favorite beverage and relax with a good book, the bright mudroom is where you'll find the laundry and offers tons of storage space. In the family room there's a pellet stove to chase the chill when the weather turns colder, here you'll also find an informal eating area for a small table or coffee/lounge area. The country kitchen is the heart of the home and offers multiple workspaces, an eat-in nook and a new, sun lit bay window. The adjoining walk-through butler's pantry will surprise you with it's functionality and additional storage. This home features incredible wide board floors, wainscoting, period details & fireplaces. The formal dining room is just lovely with it's wainscoting and fireplace and offers access to the front porch as well. The main level bedroom is bright and cheerful with wainscoting along the fireplace wall. Upstairs you'll find two additional large bedrooms and a full bath. The huge living room is truly remarkable, the gleaming wide board flooring, the cavernous fireplace, the built in bookshelves & the hidden dutch door to the enclosed porch will all captivate you. The enclosed porch has unlimited potential! It's woodwork, beams and fieldstone floor will inspire you and tempt you out into the back yard. In addition to the attached 2 car garage, the outbuildings include a very nice 2 car detached garage and two older barns. Hampden is very farm friendly and this small farm would be a great spot for horses, other livestock or farming - homesteaders will love this property!
