A rare opportunity where Northampton history, an exceptional location and redevelopment potential come together. Set on 0.59 acres abutting the Mill River, this historic converted saltbox offers approximately 2,100 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, just minutes from the shops, restaurants, arts and culture of vibrant downtown Northampton. Publicly available historical information dates the home to approximately 1750 and associates its construction with the Nathaniel Clark family. The beautiful backyard features mature fruit trees and just past the back gate take the stairs down to a peaceful riverside setting that feels remarkably private for such a convenient location. Restore the property as a distinctive personal residence, preserve a piece of New England history or explore its potential as a significant development opportunity. Located in Northampton’s Urban Residential-B (URB) zone, the approximately 25,700 sq. ft. lot may offer conceptual potential for 9 or 10 attached condominium or townhouse-style units; buyer/developer to verify all development possibilities and required approvals.
