Welcome to the Shaker Village Second House, circa 1795. Set on a bucolic country lane in the historic Harvard Shaker Village, the generous floorplan includes a total of five levels, of which three are used as living space. The main central hall level features four well-proportioned rooms, each with original historic details. Stairs leading to the floor below bring you to a welcoming family room with a woodstove, a fireplaced dining room, and a kitchen overlooking the rear yard and a laundry/mudroom. On the second level there are also four rooms, two large bedrooms with walk-in closets and built-in storage and two additional rooms with built-ins overlooking the beautiful landscape to the rear, plus a full bath. The walkup attic area is partially finished. Many restorations have been completed since 1968 with the goal of preserving original features while adding convenience and comfort. This home offers a glimpse into the unique Shaker History in a wonderful community of similarly preserved historic homes in the vibrant town of Harvard. The one-acre lot includes lawn and gardens with mature trees and is surrounded by conservation lands overlooking Bennett’s Brook.
