A rare gem at the crossroads of city and country. 74 Lyman Road is a charming hybrid of Stick Style and Queen Anne Victorian architecture. From its rare, “Birds Foot” schist fireplace to its handsome interior archway and french doors. the house exemplifies what architects once knew (before the advent of electric lighting) - how to optimize natural light. A bay-windowed front parlor with fireplace leads into a sitting room/study and adjoining pocket bathroom. Across the stair hall is a large dining room backed by a sizable modern kitchen and an office/utility room that opens onto a screened porch. Upstairs are three well-lit bedrooms and a shared full bath. The master bedroom has an additional ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. Just a short walk to downtown, the property backs onto Smith College open land. There is a rental unit and two car garage behind the house. Just two houses away are hundreds of acres of trails, preserved farmland, and forest.
