272 N Plain Rd

Ten minutes from Gt Barrington, Chrissy Farm, Butternut, and Stockbridge, twenty to I-90, Tanglewood, Catamount and Kripalu, in a secluded and peaceful setting among old trees. Available furnished, semi furnished or unfurnished. The landlord is a freak about protecting the floors on moving day, but once you're in she will leave you alone, but is readily available if there is a problem. It's 7 minutes to town, but the 400' driveway and jungle setting (it used to be a tree farm) means that you'll likely encounter wildlife. Turkeys, bobcats, "trash pandas," deer, ducks and the occasional bear ramble around at dawn and dusk. Frogs sing charmingly at night. You are welcome to plant a garden and keep a chicken coop. The bedrooms are laid out dormitory style with bathroom and closets in between. It was built in 1943 by a Danish ship builder who designed and built several houses in the neighborhood. A thoughtfully laid out and solid house. Four children grew up wild here and you get that Where the Wild Things Are kind of magic. Plenty of storage, good security, good screens, excellent wifi. Landlord pays for water. Tenant is responsible for gas and electric. First and last month's rent are due upon signing. Cats and small dogs are permitted. Garden space is available and chickens are allowed.
