About this home
This 1800's farmhouse was once home to The Ideal Shoe Company (Danvers, MA). It's a property rich with history, charm, and situated in the middle of 13+ gorgeous acres fit to explore, or simply revel in their beauty. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of conservation land, your adventures could be endless. Take in the tranquil sounds of the Westfield River while roaming the tree-lined paths or relaxing in the Gazebo. Once inside, hardwood floors and beautiful wood beams decorate nearly every room. Fire up the wood stove, grab a book from the library, and unwind in the spacious living room, the 3-season porch, or have a swim in the pool room. The impressive kitchen is ideal for entertaining, with easy access to an office/studio space and a newly renovated bath with laundry. The 2nd floor offers 3-4 bedrooms with beautiful natural light, and a full BA. Located right between Northampton and Pittsfield, yet tucked away from it all. This peaceful retreat is not to miss! 1st showings at OH 10/4
