Fabulous Otis Reservoir Waterfront Home

This week's Property of the Week has panoramic views of Otis Reservoir along with an expansive dock, boat lift, and jet ski lift! Perfect for a romantic getaway for two or a family vacation!

Welcome to the lake! ”Crestmoore” offers more than 220′ of waterfront, with expansive dock, boat lift, and jet ski lift. 1.45 incredibly private landscaped acres with a 3-car 35′ x 40′ oversize garage with 17′ x 40′ storage or workshop area above. This cedar clapboard southern-style home with wraparound covered porch has so much to offer! First floor master bedroom and bath have lake views. The soaring native stone fireplace is a lovely focal point in the den. The dining and living rooms offer beautiful views of the lake. All three second-level bedrooms have lake views, as does the 15′ x 50′ walkout lower level family room and bar.

What’s the most compelling thing about this property?

The romance of the home’s style — old time rocking porches with a magnificent panorama of Otis Reservoir.  The sunsets are free!  With 220′ on the lake for all water sports, peace and quiet or splashing fun, this home has something for everyone!  Beautiful landscaping to enjoy from inside and out!  The landscaping consists of day lilies in a rainbow range of colors, hydrangeas, hostas and other beautiful flowers and shrubs that are easier to care for than they appear! Gazebo adds more romance to the setting.  Master Suite on main level, guests are on upper level and “funtastic” 50′ family room on lower level with a bar for those days you want to party inside!

For whom is this house perfect?

This home is perfect for the couple with lots of extended family and friends, the small family or the large family. You can enjoy the comfortable spaces of just one level or open the doors to others and expand into the upper and lower levels!  It is all about comfort and having fun!

What’s the most fun thing to do within five miles of this house?

Jump into the lake in your own front yard!  Oh, you mean aside from being in heaven on your own property? Have a great meal at The Knox Trail Inn, or a soft-serve cone at Katie’s Country Store. Pick up some fine wine and spirits at Katie’s or Papa’s, go home to the lake and take a moonlit ride in your boat!  Or head to Becket Quarry to explore the fascinating history of the old granite quarry and operation!  Attend performances at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, Tanglewood, the Berkshire Theater, and many more Berkshire cultural attractions – all within a half hour of this house.  In winter, enjoy snowmobiling and other winter sports at Blandford Ski Area, Otis Ridge Ski Area, Butternut Basin, Canterbury Farms X-country in Becket, and Maple Corner Farms X-country in Granville.  Then come home to a crackling fire in the soaring native stone fireplace and sip that hot toddy! The possibilities are endless!

If this house could talk, what secret would it tell about its history?

This home has a history of fun, friends and the simple secret of love. Let this home wrap its arms around you with a sense of love, wonder and peacefulness that you will never feel anywhere else!
