55 Maple Hill Rd, West Stockbridge, MA 01266

Tucked behind a gate at the end of a semi-private drive, this bright, fully furnished two-bedroom, one-bath apartment offers the peace of country living with the comfort of a beautifully finished home. Set within a larger residence, it has its own private entrance: climb the front stairs to your own deck and step through double french doors into a wide-open living space with sweeping views of lawns, mature trees, and rolling hills. Inside, warm knotty-pine walls and rich dark hardwood floors give the whole apartment a cozy lodge feel, softened by crisp white ceilings, ceiling fans throughout, and windows in every direction. The living room centers on a handsome stone fireplace and flows straight into the dining area and kitchen -- an easy layout for entertaining or quiet evenings in. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless-steel appliances, including a gas range and full-size refrigerator, generous wood cabinetry, and a large center island with bar seating. The adjoining dining space comfortably fits a table for eight. Both bedrooms are light-filled and airy, with pine accents, ceiling fans, and views of the grounds. The full bathroom is clean and updated, with a bright window and built-in shelving. Out back, a second deck with room for chairs and planters looks over open lawn and, in the distance, a tranquil pond framed by trees -- a peaceful backdrop in every season. Just bring your bags; the apartment comes fully furnished and move-in ready. All this seclusion, yet you're just 12 minutes to Tanglewood and 5 minutes to the Mass Pike -- an easy reach to Lenox, Stockbridge, and everything the Berkshires have to offer. $3500 a month plus utilities. Pets negotiable.
