Design enthusiasts can visit This Old House's Farmhouse at Emerson Green at 28 Chance Street in Devens, Massachusetts. It boasts three bedrooms, three full baths, a deep front porch and two back decks made from premium AZEK materials, and a two-car garage. The Idea House exemplifies high-value and quality construction, with an emphasis on energy efficiency and low-maintenance, long-lasting materials.
