Set at the top of historic Round Hill among elegant Northampton mansions is the Yale House. Built in 1909 and named in honor of the first Clarke School principal, the home was converted to condominiums in 2005 by the Construct company. The generous design of windows allows for a southeast exposure creating a sunlit warmth within. The thoughtful floor plan with original hardwood floors, craftsman designed built-ins and wood detail reflects the elegance of the period with the comfort of contemporary amenities. A most comfortable den/library with glass doors opens to a rooftop deck with view of the mountains to the east. Granite counters and stainless appliances accent the open and upscale kitchen. Both the MBR with fireplace and guest BR are with en suite baths. Park like grounds with gardens and Goshen stone landscaping create a pleasant environment for the enjoyment of the residents. Set on the edge of the Smith College campus and a very short walk to center of vibrant Northampton.
