About this home

Experience year-round magic at this classic 1925 lakefront cottage, set on a private point of Shaw Pond with 60' of direct shoreline. Panoramic water and mountain views unfold from the screened porch, while a stone fire pit sets the scene for sunset gatherings. Inside, renovated, light-filled spaces include an open living room with stone fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, updated full bath, and laundry. Upstairs, three cozy bedrooms and a half bath offer a peaceful retreat. A private summer dock invites kayaking, paddleboarding, and motorized boating, while winter brings ice fishing and skating. Just 13 minutes to downtown Lee, 24 minutes to Tanglewood, and 20 minutes to Jacob's Pillow. Berkshire lakefront living at its best, in every season!
