Extraordinary 1894 Queen Anne Victorian in the Smith College area of Northampton with 3700 +/- sq. ft , 6 br's & 3+ baths with all its original, historic features intact. Known as the J.W. Hartwell House, subsequent owners included the president of the Northampton Savings Bank. The architect was B.H. Seabury, originally an engineer for the Brooklyn Bridge project, who built this classic home using the finest materials: hand carved oak balustrades, stained glass windows, numerous tiled fireplaces, a Belgian crystal chandelier and three comfortable porches. The house is sited on the largest lot on one of the most desirable streets in town and includes a 50’ long swimming pool for laps with a shallow end for play, adorned with a 19th Century ornamental cast iron fence and flagstaff patio. Beautiful wood flooring was used throughout the house with a spacious basement for laundry, woodwork, exercise and storage. The primary suite with fireplace includes access to a private porch.
