Property Offered for Lease Joshua Brooks House The Joshua Brooks House is located at 41 North Great Road, Lincoln, MA 01773.

It is approximately 2,216 SF with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

The Joshua Brooks House has been completely renovated with an attached carriage house which could be used for a small car or bikes and kayaks.

The first floor is spacious with a redesigned kitchen including new stainless-steel appliances, cabinetry and quartzite counter tops.

The newly refinished floors reflect the natural light from meticulously restored windows.

The first-floor full bathroom was recently renovated, and a new smart washer and dryer have been installed in the nearby mudroom.

Two stairways lead to the second floor where there is a dedicated office, 3 bedrooms, and another recently renovated full bathroom.

The house features a restored terraced seating patio overlooking Elm Brook and surrounding forest and active agricultural fields.

Uses of the Leased Property This lease is most suitable for low-impact, non-transient, residential occupancy of the house.

The lessee is authorized to use the property as an occupant of the house and must be willing to become a part of the National Historical Park’s relationship with the public by maintaining the historic and well-tended appearance of the structure and grounds.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
