Turnkey Berkshire cottage on Shales Brook, completely reimagined from top to bottom.

Nearly every element of the home has been renewed, including the kitchen, bathrooms, plumbing, electrical, septic system, heating system and hot water system. The bright, open living space features wood floors, a beautifully renovated kitchen with custom cabinetry finished in a rich Farrow & Ball green, and a striking vintage copper Malm wood-burning stove that adds warmth and character. Two king-size bedrooms and two beautifully updated baths create a comfortable and functional layout.

A screened-in porch and spacious deck extend the living space outdoors, surrounded by mature trees and the peaceful sounds of nature.
One of the property's most special features is its frontage on Shales Brook. Relax on the screened-in porch or deck and listen to the brook flowing just beyond the house--a wonderfully peaceful backdrop that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
The property also includes deeded access to the community beach on Shaw Pond, offering another wonderful way to enjoy the water and the Berkshire outdoors.
Beautifully landscaped and tucked into the woods, the setting feels private and serene while remaining remarkably convenient to some of the Berkshires' most beloved destinations.

The property has also been successfully offered as a short-term rental, with guests consistently praising its beautiful design, cleanliness, spacious rooms, peaceful natural setting, the sounds of the running brook and convenient location.
Completely turnkey and ready to enjoy from day one--an ideal Berkshire retreat, full-time residence or investment property.
