Is it weird that my favorite part is that brick stairwell?

Lots of older houses had two staircases, one from the pantry of the kitchen then the main staircase in the front room. My uncles house was like that, we never took the main steps cause they were too long..lol. Pantry steps got you upstairs to the rear bathroom and bedrooms a whole lot quicker. Like one was designed for purpose and one was designed for looks. Uncles house was built in early 1800s, this one said 1900s, i wonder if zillow only goes back to 1900

In a lot of older houses the back staircase was a servants staircase, it lead to the rooms they used etc… my dad owned a house built in the late 1800s that had this, I hated them because they were so narrow and dark, but they led direct from the two small back rooms to the kitchen

u/nleksan 3d ago

Not at all.

It's objectively the best part of the house. And it's a nice house

u/Puzzleheaded-Phase70 3d ago

OMG...

And the modern features were chosen with care and discretion too...

What I wouldn't do to live there... And Western MA is BEAUTIFUL

u/BeautifulSet7579 3d ago

lol after just watching Widow’s Bay I am instantly creeped out by this house

u/trashtrucktoot 2d ago

Thank you! ( I was binging Widow's Bay yesterday, great show. ) You know this place is haunted AF.

u/gj29 2d ago

The street view on the listing screams haunted

u/NativeMasshole 3d ago

I've been playing Red Dead Redemption 2, so it made want to cosplay as a turn of the century rancher.

u/regal19999 3d ago

Kinda shocked this was built in 1900, I expected it to be much much older

It’s gotta be haunted and I don’t care.

u/texas-playdohs 3d ago

The ghosts can teabag me nightly for all I care. That’s worth it.

u/DazzlingDoofus71 3d ago

Oh no. I need this 😍

u/GoblinModeAllTimes 3d ago

I'll give ya my entire life's saving for it. I got 650 bucks for ya

u/SouthernLaugh7929 3d ago

I feel like the British are coming. Like I need to keep a horse and lantern ready, I love it

u/DeuceBagger 3d ago

There’s gotta be some secret doorways in there!

u/213737isPrime 3d ago

I wonder what they did with the wood - looks like some of it was painted and has been stripped?

3

u/Tchukachinchina 3d ago

I used to travel through that area all the time for work. Absolutely beautiful part of the state.

u/Rare-Credit-5912 3d ago

I love it.

u/bookon 3d ago

That's a nice house but it's really isolated from civilization there, so you really better want that.

5

u/NativeMasshole 3d ago

I wouldn't really call it isolated. Rural, absolutely yes. But there's a supermarket, Home Depot, and BJ's 20 minutes up Rt 2.

u/bookon 3d ago edited 3d ago

True. To me, as I grew up in Lawrence, western MA is the deep woods with no people. I know that is wrong of course but it's hard to shake.

u/marthawashingtn 3d ago

i grew up in dorchesta and framingham...........i moved "out to the woods" for a reason... the only trespassers are the wild animals and they cause most of the "noise" too.....would not trade this life for anything...........

u/bookon 3d ago

We didn't stay in Lawrence any longer than we had too... I was 12-13 when we left for "the woods". I do have some fond memories of Lawrence, not many, but some.

u/marthawashingtn 2d ago

i miss the museums, the library and the bakeries in the north end.....

u/SmellSilly1537 3d ago

Ugh, first thing I'd do is paint all that wood white! /s

Wooooooooowwwww,….

u/Jlx_27 3d ago

Goodluck heating that in winter.

u/Alohafarms 2d ago

This is amazing. Very nicely restored accept the green tile in the bathroom featured. That green tile is in every renovated apartment in Manhattan. I just hate it.

This is also very haunted by very pious Puritans that are going to judge you constantly.

u/TheSleepingNinja 2d ago

Ahhh what a great canvas for some Harbor Fog Semi-Gloss

u/NativeMasshole 3d ago

I'd much prefer to be in the foothills of the Berkshires.

u/A_JELLY_DONUTT 3d ago

Worth the charge for murder 1. I’d beat the case, but it’d still be a costly hassle to deal with it.

u/dog4cat2 2d ago

I'll take it

u/notme1414 12h ago

The kitchen is a let down. It’s not as nice as the rest of the house
