About this home

This c. 1770 Harvey Tileston House blends rich American Colonial history with 2026-upgraded comfort. Located in Pepperell’s National Register Historic District, the home is known to have been an Underground Railroad stop, highlighted by a plaque on the original schoolhouse outbuilding with its hidden trap door. Now updated to 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, recent renovations include two new stairwells, open living room to foyer flow, energy-efficient LED can-lights, updated plumbing and flooring, a primary suite with a walk-in closet and large bathroom. An updated kitchen with stainless appliances, flooring, and countertops. A third-floor walk-up with two bright bedrooms, carpeting, and a full bath — ideal for Airbnb or guests. The office overlooks the backyard. Four outbuildings (all with power) feature a 360° windowed artist studio, historic schoolhouse, and two storage buildings. $2000 allowance paid at closing for kitchen countertops and sink of your choice!
