The Setting Nestled in the foothills of the Berkshires, down a long, tree-lined driveway, sits this charming country cabin on seven lush acres with walking trails, a crystal-clear swimming pond, and rights to the exquisite 140-acre Queechy Lake. The Home The home is light-filled and abundantly peaceful - each window looks out onto the surrounding greenery, with only the sounds of birds chirping flowing in. The formal living room on the ground floor opens onto the deck via large glass doors, perfect for entertaining during the spring and summer. Just off the living room is a large office and creative space that can easily be reimagined as an additional bedroom, media room, or studio. A guest bedroom and bathroom sit tucked away on the first floor, offering the ideal division of spaces when hosting. The second floor is especially cozy in its design - the living space seamlessly blends from the handcrafted kitchen, featuring arched cabinets and dark green tile, into the family room, centered around a wood-burning fireplace and lined with built-in bookshelves. A balcony with space for a bistro set overlooks the front landscape and gardens. Two large bedrooms, a bathroom, and laundry complete the floor. Throughout the entire home, there is a surplus of built-in, thoughtfully placed storage for everything from sports gear to linens, clothes, and utility items.
