Here’s what we have for you this week in The Edge Real Estate section:
- Property of the Week – Elyse Harney Morris and Bill Melnick of Elyse Harney Real Estate offer an extraordinary Berkshire County estate with unparalleled privacy, sweeping western Catskill Mountain views, walking trails on adjacent conservation land, and a location convenient to all Berkshire attractions.
- Transformations – The biggest challenge for architect Andrew Webster of Graphite Studio was to preserve the charm and character of a two-hundred-year-old building while delivering 21st century performance and comfort.
- Weekly real estate transactions for Berkshire County, Northern Litchfield County and Columbia County.
- Market Perspective – Solid growth across most dwelling types, but land and commercial sales were slow.
- The Self-Taught Gardener – Lee looks forward to hearing gardener and writer Clarke Lawrence speak at Dewey Hall about gardening it Italy, but still likes his rich New England soil and climate best.
- The Lazy Berkshire Gardener – On her daily walks, Jodi tries to focus on the positive (ignoring the cold wind) by studying the subtle colors and textures of tree bark as well as seed heads of wildflowers.
- Home Cooking – A recipe for Kay’s Gingersnaps from the kitchen of Monica Bliss.
