About this home

This home is a truly extraordinary offering. An iconic 1887 former chapel in Groton Center, once owned by the prestigious Groton School, now beautifully converted to a single-family residence while preserving its striking Gothic Revival architecture. Thoughtfully designed for multigenerational living with remarkable versatility, this home easily accommodates extended family, guests, or income-producing possibilities. A spacious apartment above the four-car garage expands the options even further. The connected lower level offers excellent privacy with its own entrance and features a full kitchen, two bedrooms, an office, laundry, and a bonus room ideal for an in-law suite. Set on a corner lot with two entrances and a circular driveway, the property also offers a private, fenced backyard and beautifully curated, low-maintenance grounds. A rare blend of architectural beauty, historic significance, and modern-day versatility
