Little Bethlehem Village. Steps from the town green, everything you need is just a short walk from your door. 1870 Colonial (deemed to be late 1700 or early 1800 by construction style). 4BR, 2 full baths. Mix of Wide board flooring and hard wood. Beautiful tumbled brick fireplace compliments the Large LR/DR space w exposed beams and wood floors. One of the two bay garages was converted to a first floor master adjacent to a full bath & laundry/mud room. - Perhaps a little in law set up? Could use some updating - hence the price, but would be a great place to hang your hat, and perhaps your shingle? Bethlehem has no zoning - quaint little mom & pop town. Dont forget to walk to one of the three restaurants or Little Town Deli, take a swim or kayak in Long Meadow Pond, or bring the kids to play on the fantastic play scape while you get the grill going & sunbath on the beach. Dont forget to "pick your own" at March Farms & visit the Bethlehem Fair. Our land trust is always expanding! Just over 2 hours to NYC, 10 minutes to the bigger box stores in nearby towns & 1.5 hrs to Bradley airport. We have grown a little, so now there are two blinking lights! A rural home town to call your own.
