OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING…will you answer? Character and space combine at this Northampton gem, minutes from Smith College, downtown shops, and the bike path. Mature plantings wrap the yard in privacy, and the inviting side porch welcomes you into sun-drenched rooms with polished hardwood floors throughout. A wood stove anchors the living room for cozy winter nights, while a versatile front room offers flexible use. The centralized dining room flows into a kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, striking countertops, and an eye catching backsplash. Two staircases lead to 5 bedrooms upstairs, each with beautiful hardwood floors, plus elegant, updated bathrooms. Outside, a pergola covered deck steps down to a brick patio and fire pit, all framed by tall evergreens and a level lawn built for gathering. The garage adds flexible bonus space for storage or hobbies. With room to relax, garden, and entertain, this is a rare find so close to everything downtown Northampton offers.
