Description
Distinguished brick country estate built for William R. Moody, eldest son and successor of Dwight L. Moody, founder of the Northfield Seminary School. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character. Three-and-a-half levels of living space featuring exquisite architectural details, period craftsmanship, timeless millwork, custom cabinetry, exceptional built-ins, and three working fireplaces. A gracious foyer with original staircases introduces living spaces rich in character and craftsmanship. The kitchen is complemented by a walk-in pantry and butler's pantry, while south-facing windows and a sun-filled conservatory overlook gardens, fruit trees, pool, and gazebo. Set on 5.67 acres with paddocks, a four-stall stable, and a carriage-style barn with one stall, tack room, run-in shed, and two-car garage, the property borders state land with miles of trails. Minutes to Northfield Center and the New Hampshire border. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Northfield's history.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a new family in the Pioneer Valley Regional School system, we’ve truly enjoyed our first year at the high school. We’ve been especially impressed by how supportive and dedicated the teachers are, as well as the strong sense of community among the students. It’s clear that students genuinely encourage and look out for one another.Although it’s a smaller school, our daughter has already had access to many new opportunities that weren’t available to her before—and she’s only just begun to explore everything the school has to offer. The range of programs and activities is impressive, and there is clearly something for every student to get involved in.We’re excited to see the school continue to grow and evolve. It feels like the school is in a positive period of renewal, and the overall atmosphere is upbeat and encouraging. While Pioneer Valley has built a strong reputation for its athletic programs in recent years, it’s equally wonderful to see the flourishing arts, music, and theater programs, all of which appear to be well supported by the administration.Parent Review4mo ago - Northfield Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children both went to NES kindergarten through 6th grade. They had caring, intelligent, supportive, and respectful teachers. Mrs. Johnson, Ms. Kitfield, Ashley, Mrs. Miner and Mr Lubrey to name a few. My children had an excellent education and did very well on standardized tests. I was involved in the PTO for a short time too. This school provides a loving environment where children can thrive.Parent Review2y ago
