Because of the right balance of picturesque towns, arts offerings, and well-protected natural beauty, National Geographic Traveler has rated the Berkshires number 76 of the top 133 destinations in the country! 

A beautiful environmental setting important to cultural tourism, the Berkshires, with towns like Great Barrington, has long attracted visitors from all around the world. From the Gilded Age summer cottages to quaint and aesthetically appealing small towns, historical and cultural museums, and summer musical performances, the Berkshires is understandably called the Premier Cultural Resort Area in the nation.  Add to that hundreds of hiking trails in natural surroundings, and other well-known recreational venues, and you have a great place to live!

The House: This is a really wonderful property, a hop-skip-and-a-jump from town, near the famous, big brown bridge.  Three nice sized bedrooms (including a very large master),  A modern bath upstairs and a water closet down, there is room for a family, vacationers, or visiting friends.  Ample open and colorful (we mean it!) dining/kitchen area and a bonus kitchen-off-the-kitchen for utility, food storage and clean up.  Living room features a gorgeous and efficient, new gas Environ Stove as an added heat source and fabulous ambiance in the cooler months or evenings in any season.  Deep rich hard wood floors throughout the entire house, a bar for entertaining or breakfasting, a functional and attractive mudroom that doubles as a screened porch in the summer, and the kind of rocking chair front porch that you would expect in a historical New England farmhouse.  But that's not all!  Improvements include a privacy fenced back yard, lined with a colorful and fragrant perennials and fruit trees, and an enviable bluestone patio that looks like an old English garden.  A barn/garage with a new, mod tin roof, great for storage but otherwise in need of some repair.   Newer windows on every side of the house for a fabulous cross breeze, an abundance of natural light in every room (and fabulous quality lighting as well), detailed original moldings and banister and a finish able huge third floor space for studio or additional living space.  A grand Magnolia (the second nicest in all of Great Barrington) stands majestically at one corner of the house providing wonderful treat for the senses.  This is a dead end street with little traffic, a most convenient location near the best restaurants, galleries and boutiques of the Berkshires, and fine, fun neighbors.  Colors by Janette McGuire; Interior design and landscape art by Berkshire X Designs.   Broker owned.
