Listing broker remarks

A home with a story—and room for what comes next. Formerly operated as a Northfield Guest House, this distinctive property offers a wonderful opportunity for an owner-occupied residence with the space, character, and flexible layout reminiscent of its bed-and-breakfast past. Set on over 3.5 acres, the home is designed for gathering, hosting, and comfortable everyday living, with two full kitchens providing exceptional versatility for extended family, guests, entertaining, or those interested in exploring future hospitality possibilities. Extensive updates include new appliances, cabinetry and countertops, while a high-efficiency 4-zone propane furnace provides heat and hot water. Eight whisper-quiet mini-splits keep the home cool throughout the summer, and a whole-house Generac generator and waterproofed basement offer added peace of mind. Outside, a spacious patio and porch create inviting places to relax or entertain, complemented by an oversized 2-car garage and expansive grounds. Whether envisioned as a spacious private residence, multi-generational home, or a nod to its history as a welcoming Northfield guest house, 748 Mt. Hermon Station Road is a property with possibilities. Buyer to perform due diligence regarding any future B&B or commercial use.— Ruggeri Real Estate
