276 Division St, Great Barrington, MA 01230

Comfort, privacy, and easy Berkshire charm on nearly four acres, just five minutes from downtown Great Barrington. Set well back from Division Street on a quiet road, this inviting home feels tucked away but not remote. A tree-lined drive winds through the property to a home surrounded by colorful gardens and mature trees. Inside, the house opens up and keeps surprising. A thoughtful expansion by noted Berkshire architect John James added volume, light, and a more contemporary flow while still feeling connected to the original home. The living room, with its wood-burning fireplace, connects to an updated kitchen, dining room, and sunken great room. With oversized windows and views into the trees, the great room gives the home a bright, open feel while still keeping a sense of definition between spaces. The large vaulted screened porch may be the best room in the house. Surrounded by trees and birdsong, it feels peaceful and immersed in nature -- easy to imagine using all summer. Just beyond, a stone patio overlooks the backyard and offers a great spot for outdoor dining and relaxing. The flexible floor plan includes a first-floor bedroom and full bath, offering the option for one-level living. Upstairs, the large primary suite includes generous closet space and a private bath with soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms share a third full bath. A detached two-stall barn/garage with overhead storage provides useful space for vehicles, tools, garden equipment, hobbies, or recreational gear. Close to downtown Great Barrington, but with the feel of a country setting, this is a comfortable, open, good-feeling home in one of the Berkshires' most convenient locations.
