179 South St, Northampton, MA 01060

Attention historic preservation contractors and thoughtful investors! Here's a rare opportunity. Well-loved and well preserved antique colonial on over 3.7 acres in the desirable South St neighborhood of downtown Northampton. This is one of the oldest surviving houses in Northampton, built in 1704. It has continued in the same family without having been sold for over 200 years. Only recently has there been new owners. Located very close to downtown and when you consider the new zoning changes that allow/encourage new in-fill redevelopment; this a house that calls for some big picture thinking. There have been several condos developed around town in recent years that were created from thoughtful and historically appropriate conversions of large, antique homes. Currently configured at 3346 sf w 12 rooms, 5 beds, and 3 full baths there are lots of expansion scenarios that make sense here.
