42 Franklin St, Northampton, MA 01060

Combining old-fashioned charm with plenty of updates and upgrades, this exceptional home in one of Northampton's most desirable neighborhoods was once a carriage house; the owner converted it to a home for his scandalously divorced sister at the turn of the 20th century. Custom work by Construct Associates includes built-in bookshelves lining the open living room, along with bedroom, office, & sunroom improvements, and beautifully designed bathrooms with fine tile work. Mini splits keep the first floor bedroom and office temperate all year round. Kitchen needs updating. Deep back yard offers lovely perennial gardens and plenty of space to play or just relax. New high-end driveway with professional landscaping. Newer roof, new fence, and lots of great details. Walking distance to Smith College and downtown Northampton.
