The middle of August is upon us. The beauty of downtown West Brookfield from the Rice Memorial Fountain to the Helen Page Shackley Bandstand reveals a historic bent to our conservative community.
Charlie Lapan's colonial is being restored.. big time. This one rehab will sustain the posture of our town. Miller's 1790 colonial on the common is for sale and ready for a rebirth. This home has six fireplaces and is, perhaps, the best location in town.
Restoring homes should be a labor of love. SonJosh and I have done our share in this regard. Antique houses are made to last. Sure it takes $ and a vision and the rewards are plenty.
West Brookfield is not a mill town! Folks commute to Worcester, Boston, Springfield and beyond. The school systems are excellent. I came back to the Brookfields some 40 years ago and have enjoyed seeing the town prosper.
Want a change? Move to West Brookfield! The inventory of homes for sale is good.
