About this home

Deadline for Highest & Best Offers Mon. 7/27 @ 5:00PM! Welcome to your summer escape on one of the Berkshires' most quintessential lakes. This architect-redesigned cottage blends classic New England charm with thoughtful, modern updates- the result is a home that feels both timeless and completely turn-key.

The living space opens up to the new composite deck built for summer evening gatherings & morning coffee. Set on a perfect stretch of shoreline, this is the magical summer cottage you've been waiting for: still water in the morning, swimming and paddling in the afternoon, and stars overhead at night. A private dock offers easy mooring for your boat.The property comes fully furnished and includes kayaks and a canoe, so all you need to bring is yourself — the water is calling, and there's still time to make this summer yours! Come visit one of the Open Houses, this Sat 7/25 11-1 or Sun 7/26 1-3!

Wow! Treasured lakeside cottages such as this only come on the market once in a blue moon. This is the quintessential New England summer getaway on delightful & picturesque Center Pond. A beautiful addition & full renovation in 2005 including new walls, insulation, windows & doors creates a natural, open space with light in all directions, and views galore. A turnkey 3 season cottage, it wouldn't take much to make this year-round. This sweet home comes completely & tastefully furnished - 3 kayaks, paddleboard, canoe, and rope swing included. New dock 2018, new roof & skylights 2019. With close proximity to Jacobs Pillow & Tanglewood or only 45 minutes into Northampton, approx 2 hrs to Boston, 3 hrs to NYC, what's not to love?
