Set proudly on a sun-drenched corner lot ''on the hill,'' this Queen Anne-style home offers in-town seclusion yet is just a short stroll from downtown Great Barrington. A manicured hedgerow provides privacy along the roadside, while the fenced front and side yards are shaded by mature trees and bordered by established plantings.
The home's wraparound porch—partially enclosed—catches all day sun, becoming a year-round haven and an ideal extension of the home's welcoming spirit. Inside, hardwood floors lead you through airy, oversized living and dining rooms, with tall ceilings, natural light, and just enough patina to feel the home's history.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with butcher block countertops and a warm, functional layout that invites both cooking and conversation. Upstairs, four light-filled bedrooms share a full bath, each space offering its own corner of peace and quiet.
This is a home with presence, privacy, and a deep sense of place, ready to be lived in and loved.
Additional features include: Full first floor bath, 1 car garage, full basement with washer/ dryer & walk out access to the driveway, small balcony off of upstairs bedroom, full walk up attic space.
