Built in 1906, our spacious 2,500 square foot home has an eclectic contemporary vibe while retaining many charming period details. Walking distance from the village center, several restaurants, a park, the rail trial, and access to Monument Mountain Hiking Trails. Our home is perfect for both work-from-home and vacationing. Off the foyer is a beautifully decorated living room with flat screen tv (Spectrum and Netflix) and a wood burning fireplace, stocked with games, art books, and fiction. The eat-in kitchen is supplied with everything from new stainless appliances to smaller luxuries like a stand mixer, burr grinder, and instant pot. Off the kitchen is a half bathroom. The dining room seats 8 comfortably. Upstairs are 5 bedrooms. On the northeast side of the house, a queen bedroom with a large desk and flat screen monitor shares a juliette bathroom, containing a walk-in shower, with a twin bedroom. The other three bedrooms, one of which is set up as an office but contains a small twin convertible couch, share a larger bathroom with an original claw foot soaking tub. This bathroom has a new stacking high-efficiency washer and drier. The gracious front porch is a three-season destination for coffee in the mornings and cocktails at 5 p.m. The large sloping back yard has a hammock and small picnic table as well as fire-pit, perfect for s'mores. At one time, our house was a two-family. The southwest corner of the house, a 15 x 20 room, is home to my former ceramics studio. This space, accessible through upstairs hallway, remains unlocked as an emergency exit, however is off limits to use by guests. I am available by text 8am-10 pm to answer any questions. I have a house manager who lives nearby and is available as needed. Housatonic, a former Mill town, is now an eclectic hamlet with a cool and undiscovered vibe. Our home was built in 1906 by one of the Mill owners for his daughter. The village is home to both long-time residents and many new young families, a recently updated park (which in summer boasts free childcare sponsored by Great Barrington Community Center), a small basketball court, community grill, and all-weather cardio equipment. We have 2 well established restaurants and a third "Coming Soon."
