About this home

Welcome to 78 Forbes Avenue; a truly special home in a coveted neighborhood-ideally located near Smith College, vibrant downtown Northampton, Florence Center & approx. 10 min. to Easthampton. Enjoy easy access to Childs Park, the scenic Mill River Greenway Trail & I-91-all just minutes away. After many years of thoughtful care, the time has come for a new owner to take over. This 3-bedroom mid-century ranch offers timeless charm, effortless flow & exceptional potential. A gracious living room anchors the home, complemented by nicely sized bedrooms & a full bath showcasing beautifully preserved original tile. The dining room connects seamlessly to the kitchen & extends into a sun-filled 3 season room overlooking a lovely, manageable yard - an inviting setting for both quiet mornings and relaxed gatherings. Thoughtful updates include a newer roof (2018), new doors & windows (2019). A two-car garage and full basement further enhance this property's appeal. Open 5/14 4:30-6 and 5/16 11-1.
