This 1970s Hampden home came with a musical surprise and has a new owner for the first time in more than 40 years. 

Kathleen Grudgen of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices | Realty Professionals executed the sale of 163 South Monson Road. The Western Massachusetts home was listed for $299,900 and is expected to close in September, according to Grudgen. 

The modified Cape was marketed “as is,” according to the listing, but the pipe organ — with its rank of pipes visible next to the first-floor fireplace — certainly makes the home stand out. The organ itself is on the second floor.
