Discover this sweet, surprisingly spacious farmhouse Cape nestled on a rare 2.3-acre double lot abutting protected conservation land and walking trails. Offering the perfect blend of natural privacy and urban convenience, you are just minutes from the River Valley Co-op, downtown Northampton, and easy highway access. Enjoy a main level built for living & creativity. The heart of the home features an eat-in kitchen complete with a wood stove and a glass-framed breakfast nook overlooking nature. Charming, wood-floored open living and dining rooms are complemented by a first-floor study and a full bath featuring a vintage clawfoot tub. Tucked away at the rear of the house is a massive bonus: a private, attached studio with its own fireplace, 3/4 bath, separate exterior entrance, and a sunlit enclosed porch. This versatile space holds endless potential as a primary suite, home office, guest retreat, or maybe even a lucrative rental. Upstairs, a central landing connects three bright bedrooms and a cozy powder room. The largest bedroom features multiple storage options and a walk-in cedar closet. Spanning two parcels, the expansive grounds feature an in-ground pool (work-in-progress), rock walls, a garden area, woods, yard space and rustic storage and pool sheds. A large basement with interior and exterior entrances offers a workshop area, ample storage, Buderus boiler, updated electric, washer/dryer hook-ups. This diamond in the rough is completely livable today, but offers an incredible opportunity to bring your design ideas and add polish to unlock its full potential and make it truly shine.
