About This Home

227 South Street, Northampton MA – End-Unit Townhome #8 Beautiful Recent Construction, Energy Efficient Townhome Less Than 1 Mile to Downtown Northampton Come live in a beautiful recent construction townhome (completed late 2020) within walking distance of downtown Northampton! Located along the lovely South Street corridor, with some of the oldest and most charming buildings in town, these townhomes are part of the redevelopment of 227 South Street. The whole development includes eight units: Five new construction Energy Star townhomes and three completely renovated apartments in the original 1884 home at the front of the property. The 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom new construction townhomes have gorgeous, regionally-grown American White Ash hardwood floors, natural Maple shaker-style cabinets, dark granite countertops, stainless steel Energy Star appliances (including dishwashers!), and in-unit laundry. Each townhome has a front porch with covered bicycle storage and a sitting area, as well as an upstairs balcony that walks out from the front bedroom/office. Other features include air conditioning, superb sound insulation between units, and semi-private backyards with patios. The first floor of each townhome features an open floor plan with a generous sized living area, kitchen and peninsula bar, good natural light, as well as a front closet and half bathroom. The second floor has two bedrooms and a full bathroom, nice sized closets, Energy star clothes washers and dryers, and linen closet. Additional dedicated storage space and covered/lockable bicycle storage is available in the basement of the front building, and there are also backyard storage sheds. The townhomes were built to 25% greater energy efficiency than the new energy efficient Massachusetts Stretch Code. Each unit has heat and air conditioning provided by efficient ductless mini-split heat pumps. The development also features a solar PV array that powers common electrical loads. All units have programmable thermostats and new Energy Star windows. Like to garden and spend time outside? Complementing the two-story front porches, each townhome has a dedicated gardening bed at its front porch. In the backyards, granite-like textured concrete patios with privacy screening are set next to additional gardening beds and lead to shared open space with community garden boxes (dedicated garden planters for each townhome). At the back of the property is a small shared open space with a play structure. Or, downtown is a just a short walk, or head for the bike path, with an entrance just half a mile away. The development is also a stone’s throw from the Meadow’s Conservation Area, one of the South Street neighborhood’s most prized assets, which also connects to the Oxbow and the Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary. Each townhome has one dedicated parking space, with additional undedicated parking spaces available onsite as well as on the street immediately out front. An open bicycle rack is located at the front of the building. Rent includes snow removal, mowing, water & sewer, and trash/recycling/compost collection by the Pedal People.
