Location, location, location. Built around 1807, set 200 feet above the Connecticut River, stands the old "Round Hill Hotel", once used in conjunction with the Round Hill Water Cure Retreat. In 1852 it was in this hotel that the Swedish Nightingale Jenny Lind--whom had proclaimed Northampton the "Paradise of America" just one year prior--took up residence for the first three months of her marriage.
This magnificent home has most recently been the residence of Isabel and Richard Holden since its purchase in 1948. With their passing, the home becomes available for one lucky family. A home this wonderful has only been sold once since 1888. Don't miss the chance of a lifetime to own a part of Northampton's rich heritage and history. Original hand written 1888 deed as well as the 1948 deed are in hand. This home has been the past owner's life long treasure; now it could be yours.
The home at 87 Round Hill Road, sits on a 1/4 acre lot and is listed as having 2,868 square feet of living space. The home welcomes you to the 1800s with it's unique character and distinctive features including sectional tower, decorative and stained glass and several exterior porches. The main entry opens to 11'8" ceilings and widens to 6'8" while leading to a bedroom/study, an old fashion kitchen with pantry, a bathroom. Two 5' pocket doors lead to the dining room and living room with fireplace, and ends at a covered rear porch with fantastic views and a one stall garage below. A front stair leads to the 2nd floor hall with 2 bedrooms, two baths (one with the laundry), the huge Master Bedroom with turreted section and fireplace, and ends at an open porch with wonderful views of the Holyoke Range as you gaze over the obscured roofs of beautiful properties below. A rear stair leads to the 3rd floor and two bedrooms and a bath. Most floors are beautiful oak and the home has built-ins in several rooms. This home needs some tender loving care, yet is comfortably livable, and should return great value in this town dubbed by Jenny Lind the "Paradise of America". This one of a kind home is being offered for the purchase price of $1,500,000 to one lucky buyer.
