Premier location next to Smith College and minutes to downtown Northampton, this handsome Victorian is currently configured as a two-family or it could be converted to a large single family. Many options await for a conversion to a single family including an option for a first floor bedroom with three more on the 2nd floor and one or two on the 3rd floor. Gracious bay windows in the front, lots of light throughout the house, high ceilings, wood floors and original molding around doors and windows. The third floor offers extra space with three finished rooms, 1/2 bath and a balcony overlooking the tree-lined street.There is a garage/shed in the back of the house for storage, but could be removed to provide more yard space. With updating, this house could be a beauty in a stellar location.
