Supplements
While your here in the country, why not scoot out for dinner or a live performance? 45 minutes to the west and you will arrive at Tanglewood in the Berkshires or the short 45 minute drive to the east will bring you to Northampton offering wonderful dining and other attractions.
The current owners have created a wonderful home reminiscent of the buildings in Sturbridge, MA. The exterior of the house looks similar to the House of the Seven Gables in Salem, MA. With a large center Fireplace servicing the kitchen and living rooms on the main floor of the house, 2 of the three bedrooms on floor 2. There is an attached massive two story post and beam barn which is accessible through the inside of the house. Under a portion of the barn and connector was once considered an in-law or caretaker apartment with two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and full bathroom but would be better served today as a work shop or office as codes have changed since then making living space questionable. It also has water damage and should be gutted to be re-purposed.
No restrictions on the acreage. Current owners doing selective timber cut which should be completed by September 2019.
