A rare opportunity where Northampton history, an exceptional location and redevelopment potential come together. Set on 0.59 acres abutting the Mill River, this historic converted saltbox offers approximately 2,100 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, just minutes from the shops, restaurants, arts and culture of vibrant downtown Northampton.

The beautiful backyard features mature fruit trees and just past the back gate take the stairs down to a peaceful riverside setting that feels remarkably private for such a convenient location.
