This property is a rare and precious find; it was built in 1951 using the best lumber & stone from the old Quabbin reservoirs valley. The home structure is incredibly sound and owning it feels like living in a piece of Western Mass history. Harkness Rd is a friendly, walkable area for those who love to get outside and is right next to beautiful lilac land property. The wide yard and small garden with raised beds have a great room to expand upon; capturing excellent sunlight all day. The house itself is set far enough back that it is easy to let children or animals roam free; you never feel as if you're right on the street. In this peaceful area, you'll never get a great rest so close to suburban downtown. Winters with the warm new pellet stove and new home insulation work make a relaxing and cozy experience. The whole house heats so well during the coldest days without the work or cost of many other heating methods. New w/w carpet. Amherst regional for Middle and High School.
