This GOTHIC CARPENTER COTTAGE was built in 1860 as a gardeners house. It sits amidst lovely flora on a professionally landscaped yard & is situated in the Smith College neighborhood of Northampton. The living room with fireplace was added later, maybe in the 1960's & has a full basement The Dining Room has built-in glass front cabinets. What was originally the parlor is now a Study. The 3 bedrooms upstairs all have sloping ceilings, closets, & pine floors. There is a landing at the top of the stairs with a closet. The walls are plaster in the original cottage. The present owners did extensive renovations when they purchased 38 Round Hill in 2007; kitchen, bathrooms, updated electric, added insulation & 4 mini-splits The owner spent countless hours researching this property & will share the origin story with the buyers, & share published photographs describing the house as a fine example of this type of architecture.
