This Authentic 1795 Colonial is located in the heart of Ashfield Village. Its original details have been beautifully restored, including leaded windows, built-ins, multiple fireplaces, moldings, wide pine flooring and a magnificent dining room mural. Space and grace fill this historic home. Generous sized rooms as well as nooks and crannies. Modern Kitchen with cherry cabinets, SS Appliances plus built-in bookcases. This grand home has an attached screened porch, large south facing yard , and 40X30 ft. barn. As you walk through the house, you can sense the history of days gone by. Dr. Knowlton, an early proponent of birth control, lived in the home from 1835-1850. Most recently the property has been used as a successful bed and breakfast. Walk to restaurants, country shops, Ashfield Lake and across from Elmer's Store. It is located 30 minutes to Northampton and Greenfield. Easy drive to outside activities such as skiing, hiking and rafting. Some new paint would make it shine!
