Public Remarks: This country home is exactly what you fantasize about, when wanting to live in the Berkshires. The property features a brook that runs the full length of your large back yard with raised garden beds and a funky oversized shed. Local Folklore has it, this charming Post & Beam home was once the Becket school house back in the 1850s, moved and renovated into beautiful country home that it is today. With an open floor plan with exposed beams. A unique feature, the primary bedroom has a sliding glass door to its own private deck overlooking your property, where you can enjoy the peaceful sound of the water in the brook running over the rocks. I could go on and on about this wonderful country home and the land that it sits on. Please look at the pictures, they say they're worth a thousand words
