Located in a prime location on the edge of Smith College, this picturesque Victorian presents a great opportunity to own a piece of history in vibrant Northampton, just minutes from downtown. The house was built in 1897 for Wilmot Clark, who owned a horse harness and equipment business on Main St. The decorative wagon wheels under the house's gables may be a nod to his profession. The house has been loved and well cared for by its current, long-time owner and is awaiting its next chapter. With almost 2400 sq. ft. of living spaces and 3 floors, the house has much original character intact and has been very well maintained with updated electrical system (2013), roof (2021), heating system (2018) and insulation. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, a newer addition of a sunroom that opens to a lovely small, private backyard with plantings along a stone wall. The 3rd floor attic offers expansion potential.
