NORTHBORO Summering at home would be a breeze on this 22-acre property with its heated in-ground pool, large herb and vegetable garden, a walking trail and 14 rooms of understated elegance.

The four-story, 6,732-square-foot estate at 600 West Main Street is listed with Lee Joseph of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Worcester at $1,790,000.

Its like a little sanctuary, its peaceful, its secluded, Joseph said.

Conservation-minded couple Dr. Mark Notash and Jennifer Wilcox bought the property in 2018 and have since installed green features highly sought after in todays market.

The three-car attached garage was recently fitted with an electrical panel and ports for three electric car chargers. They installed high-efficiency propane boilers, and outdoors, a 10-kw solar tracking array with backup battery.

Notash, an emergency room physician who also has a background in forestry management, groomed the wooded portion of the property and installed a hiking trail.

Notash noted the property is also suited for a micro farm and sugaring from its many maple trees.

As for favorite features inside the home, Notash spoke of the workout room in the lower level and steam shower in the master bath.

The entrance to the home opens in a two-story foyer and continues to a chefs kitchen that holds a custom-hammered kitchen sink, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, large center island with seating for four, and a butlers pantry.

A dining room accented by pillars and walk-out angled bay windows would easily accommodate large family gatherings.

A second-floor balcony overlooks the family room that features a floor to ceiling sandstone fireplace with keyhole window surrounded by built-in bookcases. French doors in the family room lead to a bright sunroom with tiled floor and a wall of glass that offers scenic views of the grounds.

A living room and two dedicated office spaces complete the first floor.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is big and bright with cathedral ceilings and glass doors to a balcony. In addition to the steam shower, the master bath holds a jet tub and comfort features, such as heated towel bars.

The second floor has three more bedrooms and a laundry. The third floor is dedicated to one bedroom and bath. The finished, walk-out basement has a fireplace, a fitness room and a second laundry.

The manicured grounds and rolling lawns hold a bluestone patio, in-ground heated pool and gazebo.

At the end of a recently paved circular driveway is a new cobblestone drive to a post-and-beam barn complete with hay loft, electricity, water and gas.

About one mile off property is the Cold Harbor Brook F.C. recreation ground. The 231 acres and its hiking trails are open to the public.

Joseph noted that this property straddles a town line with 14.92 acres in Northboro, assessed at $1,320,600 with taxes of $22,780, and 7.74 acres are in Shrewsbury, assessed at $310,500 with taxes of $3,872.
