A rare and historic building is available to the market. Circa 1810, The Clayton Store is now configured as a second-story residence, an attached studio, and a recreated country store from 1850 on the ground floor. The current owner is a collector and professional decorative painter who has restored the 4,200-square-foot building over the last 50 years. Built on a truss system, the interior is unusually free of center supports, creating large open interior spaces. The store shelves and store counters are original. The roof, heating system, septic system, wiring, and plumbing have been upgraded and or replaced as necessary. A truly magical work-live opportunity on the border of Connecticut, in a stellar Massachusetts town that is a community proud of its past, and with a soulful vision for the future.
