Own a piece of history! This remarkable property, once the site of the historic Toll House along the Old Central Turnpike in the early 1800s, offers a rare opportunity to own a true local landmark. In its earliest days, travelers paid just 25 cents to pass the gate with a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage—a fascinating glimpse into the area’s past.
Today, this beautifully maintained and highly energy-efficient 4-bedroom, 1-bath home blends historic character with thoughtful updates and abundant potential for expansion. The renovated 2012 kitchen features charming mission-style cabinetry, upscale granite countertops, gas cooking, and a spacious pantry that opens to a welcoming dining room complete with built-ins.
The oversized family room is bright and inspiring—perfect for entertaining or relaxing with loved ones. Two comfortable bedrooms and a beautifully renovated bath with tiled shower complete the first floor.
Upstairs, you’ll find two additional generously sized bedrooms along with more than 400 sq ft of walk-in closet space, offering excellent potential to add a second bathroom or create a luxurious primary suite.
The finished basement adds additional flexible space and includes major system updates such as a 2014 furnace, 2023 hot water system, new Mass Save insulation, central air, and 2010 Everlast composite siding for lasting efficiency and durability.
Step outside to enjoy the expansive yard, complete with an oversized 18x10’ shed, a fenced garden area, and a cozy firepit—perfect for summer evenings. In spring and summer, the property truly comes alive with blooming perennials, along with blueberries, grapes, roses, honeysuckle, and rhododendrons. Garden enthusiasts will love the fully fenced 35’ x 25’ garden retreat, featuring nine raised beds and a pergola—an ideal space to grow, relax, and unwind.
Ideally located adjacent to the beloved DiCarlo neighborhood, you’ll enjoy quick access to the local coffee shop and garden center, as well as nearby fully recreational Lake Maspenock & beach, Upton State Forest, and convenient routes to I-495, I-90, and the vibrant downtown farmers market. All this, plus access to top-ranked schools in the state.
Open houses on Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 3 PM—come experience this one-of-a-kind home for yourself!
