SHREWSBURY — This desirable combination of a neighborhood setting plus 1.75-acres of wooded privacy comes with three levels of living, including two private home offices.

The 13-room, 3,993-square-foot home at 9-B Blackthorn Road is listed with Lee Joseph of Coldwell Banker Realty — Worcester for $1.05 million.

“My favorite feature of the home is the lot size and land area as it’s very unusual to find an acre plus lot offering privacy on the north side of town,” Joseph said.

The property features mature landscaping, views of woodlands and a small brook running along one side.

The recently updated kitchen includes custom cabinets, electric induction cooktop set in stone countertops, double ovens and farmers’-style sink.

The dining room and kitchen both have access to a three-season room and the deck beyond.
