Private Contemporary Colonial near Ski Butternut—Move-in ready

Tim Lovett of Berkshire Property Agents offers a meticulously maintained move-in ready home nestled in private woodlands but minutes from downtown Great Barrington.

Nestled in East Mountain State Forest on a private road yet minutes from downtown and Ski Butternut, this meticulously maintained home is move-in ready. A heated sidewalk leads to a foyer mudroom with radiant heat. Cathedral ceilings with a wood-burning fireplace and large windows in the living room, overlooking a wonderful patio with a fire pit. An open kitchen with eat-in granite counter, formal dining room, screened porch with additional gas fireplace; powder room, two ensuite bedrooms plus an additional bedroom upstairs; another ensuite bedroom at garage level, with a laundry room and huge basement storage space. Two-car attached garage, HVAC system plumbed for oil, propane, or solar. Hike miles of wooded trails accessible from the back yard. Some furnishings are available separately.

What is the most compelling thing about this property?

Here’s a bright, spacious home surrounded by acres of your own private woodlands—a perfect getaway that’s still only minutes from the center of the lively town of Great Barrington. This house promises easy, comfortable living in an ideal location.

For whom is this house perfect?

With bright sunny common rooms and four bedrooms strategically located for maximum privacy and flexibility, this house is perfect for anyone—a family, a couple or a single person. There’s room to comfortably entertain guests or to convert a bedroom into a home office. And, best of all, if you are eager to settle into your new Berkshires life, this meticulously maintained home is move-in ready!

What is the most fun thing to do within five miles of this property?

This house gives you the best combination of town and country.  Miles of wooded hiking trails beckon right outside your door. Or ski all winter at Butternut Basin, virtually next door. The lively town of Great Barrington is minutes away for dining, shopping or strolling. Enjoy new and classic movies at The Triplex community-owned cinema center, or live theater, music and performances at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center or at Saint James Place. Plus, all other major Berkshire attractions—Tanglewood, more theater, museums and historic homes—are all just a short drive away.

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

This house would talk about the wonderful builder who created it—a strong, pretty, timeless solid structure with high ceilings, separate owner and guest wings, a huge dry basement, attached oversized garage, etc. But mostly the house would tell the story of the current owners who have poured love and unparalleled care and taste into it, improving not only the systems, but the landscape as well.
