1922

This classic 1922 brick Cape offers exceptional value in one of Northampton’s most desirable locations. Directly across from Childs Park and close to Smith College, downtown, Cooley Dickinson Hospital, the YMCA, the bike path and Northampton High School, the setting offers an uncommon combination of walkability, convenience and neighborhood appeal. Recently renovated and exceptionally well maintained, the home features a refurbished slate roof, all new copper down spouts, updated electrical, new stainless steel appliances, a fireplaced living room, dining area, family room, kitchen and flexible first-floor bedroom, den or office. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs, with finished lower-level space for added flexibility. A large rear deck overlooks a wooded yard with open garden space, while the unusually generous in-town lot provides privacy and outdoor space that are difficult to replicate in this location. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive home in one of Northampton’s most desirable settings.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,880 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 12,001 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
