136 Chesterfield Rd, Northampton, MA 01062

All that is gold does not have to glitter - sometimes it lies amidst old stone walls and rough-barked maples. A fine old farmhouse, renovated and repurposed for a light, airy and uncluttered home life. Deft design and period-sensitive finish carpentry create a minimalist feel that preserves the material dignity of old New England, but clears away the quirks and compromises. The first floor has three distinct segments. A large rear addition holding a mudroom and spacious kitchen. The main house with a generous dining area bracketed by a full bathroom, a laundry room and a handsome family room/office (or bedroom). Across the stair hall is a wonderfully, airy sitting room, windowed on three sides, with a door leading to a large patio. The upstairs has an L-shaped master bedroom, two smaller, well-proportioned bedrooms, and a full bath. Newer roof, septic system and freshly painted inside and out. A short drive to Florence, Look Park, Northampton Center and Leeds School.
