Property Description

Built circa 1704 by Preserved Clapp, son of Boston Harbor's Castle Island commander, this landmark antique colonial blends period authenticity with thoughtful modern updates on 3.7 parklike acres on the edge of downtown Northampton — half a mile from the center. Known as both the Clapp House and Ferry House, the home retains its historic integrity: wide pine floors on the 2nd floor, exposed beams, 5 fireplaces, original built-ins, and a colonial-era hiding place beneath the attic stairs. 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths flex easily for home offices, teen suites, or intergenerational living, with a private in-law apartment for rental income or guests. The remodeled kitchen features stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, and granite counters. Updates include electrical, Pella windows, doors, and baths. Outside, a fenced yard, patio, and gorgeous in-ground gunite pool complete this rare offering — a seamless blend of history and modern comfort. Schedule your private showing today.
