Waterfront Living and Creative Freedom on Brooks Pond
If you’ve been waiting for the right blend of nature, privacy, and year-round comfort, 13 Washburn Terrace in Spencer deserves a closer look. This direct-waterfront cottage sits on the peaceful shoreline of Brooks Pond, offering the lifestyle people imagine when they picture escaping the noise — sunrise paddles, quiet evenings on the deck, and a pond that’s calm enough for flat-water kayaking and the occasional fishing line.
A Cottage Designed for Simplicity and Comfort
The home itself is warm and welcoming, with a vaulted living room, picture windows, and multiple access points to the deck and shoreline. Efficient systems keep everything comfortable in all seasons:
-
Pellet stove + two ductless mini-splits
-
Tankless Rinnai hot water
-
Propane cooking
-
Updated 200-amp electrical
The layout includes two bedrooms, a wood-floored dining area, and a well-planned kitchen with stainless appliances.
A Studio/Workshop That Changes Everything
What makes this property truly stand out is the 24×12 studio/workshop building. Split into a 12×12 workshop, a 12×12 studio/bedroom, and a 6×12 lower-level fabrication room, it’s tailor-made for anyone who creates things: painters, furniture builders, musicians, makers or remote workers.
Brooks Pond: Quiet, Scenic, and Protected
Brooks Pond covers roughly 179 acres, surrounded by forest, conservation land, and six small islands. The water is known for being calm, clean, and ideal for non-motorized recreation. A small public access point exists, but the pond is predominantly quiet, with limited parking and rules designed to preserve its natural character.
Who This Property Is Perfect For
-
Artists & creatives needing a private studio
-
Buyers seeking true waterfront without sacrificing utilities
-
Year-round residents who want nature without isolation
-
Anyone craving a retreat-like lifestyle with modern systems already in place
If you’ve been looking for Spencer waterfront homes or a Massachusetts cottage with an artist studio, 13 Washburn Terrace stands out from everything else on the market.
