2 Bed/2 Bath/1238 sqft
$595,000
Offered by Shepley W. Evans, 413-298-0044, Friday & Co. Real Estate

PEACE AND QUIET. An utterly charming contemporary lake place. sited on a peninsula at the end of a private drive through mature two-acre woods. About 900 feet of waterfront on three sides, a private dock, ”away from it all”, ”tranquility without isolation.” The interior is bright and airy, with cathedral ceilings, open living plan, wood floors and lots of windows looking onto lake and deck. The pond enveloping the peninsula is well over a mile long, with very few houses in sight and an abundance of wildlife. Flocks of migrating waterfowl come and go, nesting eagles sometimes spend the spring and summer, and occasionally a transient loon will drop in for a short rest. Many come for the fish, which are plentiful, and for the undisturbed natural surroundings.
