Ashburnham is a hill town in northern Worcester County, bordering New Hampshire and dotted with lakes and ponds. Mount Watatic rises on its northern edge, marking the start of the Wapack Trail, while the town center keeps a classic New England common and a historic church. South Ashburnham grew up along the railroad and Route 12.

Housing includes antique colonials and farmhouses near the center, lakefront cottages and year-round homes on Lake Wampanoag and Upper Naukeag Lake, and newer colonials on wooded lots. Dolan O’Rourke helps buyers and sellers in Ashburnham weigh the differences between lake, village and rural properties. Our agents can explain how lake access, well and septic systems, and lot size affect value in a hill town like this one.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with John Dolan and Dolan O’Rourke Real Estate Services while selling my mother’s home. We were going through an extremely difficult transition. We were both unfamiliar with the process of selling a home. From day one, John made himself readily available and kindly explained every part of the process to my mother, always making sure she understood each detail. His knowledge and expertise goes far and above what we expected. His constant communication never left us guessing – we felt very involved in every part of the process. I was caring for my mother on my own and he did everything in his power to ease the burden of selling her property. John knew I had great anxiety over our difficult situation and would always tell me not to worry. He always found a resolution to every bump in the road- and now I am finally worry free! John made us feel cared for and safe. We cannot thank him enough for his hard work. He helped us find a deal that we never could’ve imagined and changed our life for the better!

We worked with John of Dolan O’Rourke Real Estate Services to purchase our first home in the Greater Boston area. As first time home buyers, John invested a lot of time early on to educate us about what to expect and strategies to consider. Throughout the process John had great communication, listening and advice as we navigated a challenging market. John was approachable, knowledgeable and always fun to be around as we looked at numerous houses, and helped us shape our conversations to really dial in to what we were looking for. We would love to recommend John for future real estate services and are so appreciative of his hard work.
