274 Bridge St, Northampton, MA 01060

Welcome to The Daniel Martin House, one of a number of Sears “kit homes” built by architect Chester Austin in Northampton between 1898 and 1915. This 1714 square foot single-family home is in a great location, an easy walking distance to downtown, and across the street from Sheldon Field. The first floor offers a surprisingly functional Victorian-era kitchen and pantry, with a new gas range, a foyer/dining era, living room, den, and full bath, and a rear entrance with a small mudroom. The first floor also has beautiful original chestnut trim and recently refinished oak floors, as well as charming high ceilings. Upstairs are 4 good size bedrooms, and a 3/4 bathroom. The updated natural gas heating system and recently installed insulating blinds make this older home affordable to maintain. APO, other recent updates include refinished original pine floors on the second story, new paint inside and out, a restored original slate roof and repointed foundation, the removal of all knob and tube wiring, and a new decorative iron fence across the front of the side yard. There is also a large attic with ample storage.
