38 Gray St, Amherst, MA 01002

Restored to its luxurious self, this Italianate Villa is within walking distance of downtown Amherst. Nestled on a 1.21 acre lot with views of the Pelham Hills and a southern vista, this beautifully crafted, elegant home is to be admired. Originally built in 1862/63 and designed by Northampton architect William Fenno Pratt, the design and functionality are a perfect compliment to today's family. A large wrap around front porch is the entrance to the grand foyer, a central architectural feature, and encapsulates the essence of formality, yet sports a sophistication of today. The living room, family room, library and dining room each have an original working marble fireplace(either wood or gas) and are complimented by detailed plaster crown moldings, pocket doors, inlay parquet floors and so much more. The kitchen, a chef's dream, is beautifully appointed and includes a large center island and stainless steel appliances. A stunning example of a by-gone era.
