Listing broker remarks

Imagine stepping out your front door for a morning walk through Childs Park, an afternoon stroll at Smith College, or enjoying dinner & a show in vibrant downtown Northampton, all just moments from home. This restored early 20th-century 4-bed, 2-bath Prospect St. home blends classic character with meaningful updates. Inside, you find warm wood floors, updated kitchen and baths, along with cozy spots to unwind from the living room fireplace to a sunny window seat. Two enclosed upper porches provide peaceful spaces to read, work, or sip coffee. The 3rd fl. is a bright finished attic that could be a spacious primary or playroom. The owners have thoughtfully enhanced the property with many updates including a fenced yard, a renovated bath, additional insulation, a semi-finished basement, a studio-garage conversion, new roof over the garage, an owned rooftop solar array, gutters, & a 2026 water heater. On the corner of a dead-end street, parking and backing out of the driveway is a breeze!— Keller Williams Realty
