Originally a gift from Williams College President Harry A. Garfield, the son of United States President James Garfield, to his daughter, this elegant and gracious South Street home is available for the first time in over thirty years. Fine architectural details abound with beautiful crown moldings and woodwork, six panel doors, gleaming oak flooring, abundant built-in shelving and cabinetry, and large, light-filled floor-to-ceiling windows. The spacious entrance hall opens on your left to a stunning wood-paneled library lined with ample book-shelving and warmed by a corner fireplace with wood mantel and slate hearth. Ahead, the lovely living room, with another handsome fireplace with decorative mantel, side pilasters and marble hearth, provides access to a covered slate side terrace. A formal dining room with a beautiful glass-doored china cabinet and a third fireplace, offers the perfect venue for hosting gatherings both large and small. Custom designed by Latson & Latson, the kitchen with its large cherry center island offers plentiful cabinetry and green marble countertops, and leads to a large and inviting wood-paneled family room. The impressive six bedroom, five and one half bath residence graces its 1.2 acre parcel with refined dignity on prestigious South Street in the heart of Williamstown. Just a stone's throw from the renowned Clark Art institute with its internationally revered collection of the art of Renoir, Monet, Degas, Sargent, Homer, Remington, Inness and Cassatt (among many, many others), and its expansive 140 acre campus full of trails wandering through meadows and woodlands, and close by the Williams College campus and the Spring Street shopping and dining district, this stunning, centrally situated property affords an opportunity to own a most attractive, distinctive home in an exquisite location in a very fine New England college town.
