Public Remarks: This 2017 waterfront home on Lake Garfield has seen very gentle use over the past six years. Featuring three bedrooms and four baths, it offers five sleeping rooms on three fully finished levels. The south-facing great room and the family room below both boast gas fireplaces, radiant heat, and air conditioning. The open kitchen is outfitted with premium SubZero, Wolf, and Asko appliances. Six rooms provide direct access to the deck and patio with stunning lake views. Additional features include fiber internet, a whole house generator, a private dock, an easy-care metal roof, and hardy-plank shingle siding. Lake Garfield, the premier recreational lake in the southern Berkshires, rarely has homes available on the market, making this a unique opportunity. Offered mostly furnished.
