Featured in The New York Times: 9 on the Common — A Massachusetts Gem That Captured National Attention

Every once in a while, a home tells a story so special it catches the attention of more than just local buyers — it captures the hearts of readers across the country. That’s exactly what happened when 9 on the Common, one of our listings in Royalston, Massachusetts, was featured in The New York Times Real Estate section as part of their “What You Get” series showcasing remarkable homes around the U.S. for under $550,000.

A Home That Embodies New England Character

Set right on the historic Royalston Common, this property offers the timeless architecture and craftsmanship that make New England homes so beloved.

From the wide-plank floors to the cozy fireplace and classic front porch, every corner of 9 on the Common tells a story — one of history, care, and possibility.
