With five bedrooms, six bathrooms and two family rooms, this house can absorb a lot of people yet still feel cozy and intimate. It’s perfect either for a family, or for people who love to have friends and family come to visit. Perfect also for the buyer who wants the convenience of a new home that’s move-in ready.
What’s the most fun thing to do within five miles of this house?
You have town and country right here. Downtown Great Barrington is a short walk away with restaurants, performing arts centers, shopping, restaurants, and lively street life all year round. Lake Mansfield, right at the end of your lawn, offers swimming, boating and fishing. And you’re minutes away from skiing at Ski Butternut in the winter, Tanglewood in Lenox in the summer, and everything else that the Berkshires has to offer.
If this house could talk, what secret would it tell about its history?
This house would tell you that its owners renovated it just five years ago with quality and modern convenience in mind, while also trying to keep the house looking clean, simple and not ostentatious. They succeeded in creating a home where much happiness has been shared.
