House overview
Sited above Main Street to enjoy mountain views and southern exposure, this Italianate Villa is the Amherst Center standout! In 1863, W.F. Pratt designed and built it for the hatmaker Henry Hills. The restored structure and estate, spread over more than one groomed acre, weds classical antique form (balanced cubic massing, overhanging eaves, tall, narrow windows, and ornate brackets) with contemporary functionality.
The fastidiously maintained 5,311-square-foot dwelling touts three state-of-the-art HVAC systems, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a 3-car garage, a cook’s kitchen, 3 gorgeous bathrooms, built-ins, and a 900-square-foot studio with a bath, cabinets, mini-split, and laundry.
Enter from the signature wrap-around porch into a formal foyer with a soaring ceiling and staircase. On the left is a parlor with pocket doors to the library; on the right are the drawing and dining rooms. Each features marble fireplaces, chandeliers, and crown moldings.
The informal space extends into both the "all bells and whistles" eat-in kitchen and an upstairs family room with an ensuite bedroom. Historic appeal and modern livability!
