The town of Russell is a charming community with a population of less than 2,000 people. It is located west of the city of Westfield, of which it was once a part before it became a town in 1792. This home at 468 Westfield Rd has been standing since 1772. It sits on just under an acre across the street from the Westfield River. Mount Tekoa wildlife management area is on the other side of the river, as well. This is the Titus Doolittle Homestead. Dolittle Hadley did little here. He was a farmer, he operated a Tavern, a stage line, and the towns first post office here. A tobacco barn and pergola are attached at the rear of the house. There is also an enclosed porch from where we enter the inviting kitchen around the old cooking fireplace. You’ll love the historic authenticity of this home. Exposed beams, wide plank floors, and other historic features can be found throughout. Call Michael Seward Real Estate at 413-531-7129. Visit www.MichaelSewardRealEstate.com
