Brookside Mill Condos – Westford
Brookside Mill Condos – Westford
Few Westford addresses carry as much history as Brookside Mill. The brick and stone mill buildings along Stony Brook were converted to 35 condominium residences in the early 2000s — a project that turned Westford’s first fulling mill into one of the town’s most distinctive places to live. The result is a community where exposed brick, towering windows, and post-and-beam character meet the convenience of modern condo living.
The residences at 8 and 12 Brookside Road range from garden-level flats to two-story townhouse-style homes, many with direct views of Stony Brook. Interiors showcase the mill’s bones: beamed ceilings, massive windows that flood the rooms with natural light, and layouts that feel open and airy rather than compartmentalized. Units typically offer two bedrooms, one to two and a half baths, and roughly 1,000 to 2,100 square feet.
Brookside Mill is a natural fit for buyers who want character they can’t find in new construction — young professionals, artists, and downsizers alike. The building is professionally managed, pets are welcome, and the setting puts you about three miles from Westford Town Center with trail access, shopping, and commuter routes all close at hand. It’s historic charm without the historic maintenance.
