17 Hillside Drive, Townsend: A Colonial with Character, Inside and Out

The library is a good place to begin a tour of 17 Hillside Drive. French doors connect it to the living room, while custom pine built-ins and a brick fireplace give the space a distinct identity. Picture shelves filled with favorite books and a comfortable chair pulled up for an evening read.

Offered at $749,000, this Townsend, Massachusetts Colonial sits on 2.5 acres and offers approximately 2,860 square feet, with three full bathrooms and one half bathroom.

Throughout the main level, hardwood floors, wainscoting and crown molding establish a traditional New England feel. The formal dining room adds detailed millwork and a dedicated setting for meals and gatherings.

In the kitchen, cherry cabinetry pairs with a granite island with seating, a wine refrigerator and a breakfast nook. Glass doors lead out to the deck, connecting indoor meals with time outdoors.

The finished third floor adds a skylit landing, a full bathroom and two bonus rooms. Consider how that additional space could accommodate a home office, hobbies or a separate place to unwind.

Outside, the composite deck and stone patio offer different places to sit and gather. Woods, stone walls and a barn-style shed complete the setting, while the dormered front and covered porch give the home its welcoming first impression.
