88 Crescent St Northampton, MA 01060

88 Crescent St has seen many evolutions over the years.It was originally constructed as a colonial farmhouse in the early 1800's and located up on the ridge of Round Hill.Subsequently, it was converted to a gymnasium for the Bancroft School, and later into a bowling alley.When it was moved to its current location in 1890,it served as a carriage house before being bought by the late Mayor Woodhouse and made into a single family home in 1920.The spacious floor plan consists of 5 bdrms,2 bathrooms, a kitchen w/ eat in area, formal dining room with built in cabinets, a living room and a library room, each with their own fireplace. There is a full walk out basement and a one car garage.There is a large screened porch overlooking Crescent street. The house has not been updated in years and will require some work, but the large URC-zoned lot in a much sought after neighborhood, close to Smith College and downtown, makes the possibilities intriguing.Showings begin at O.H, March 12th from 11-1.
