1009 1/2 State Rd, North Adams, MA 01247

This thoughtfully updated cottage is perfect for one person or a couple. It is a fully separate structure (ADU) behind a single-family home. It is surrounded by a lovely yard with fruit trees and a creek at the property's edge. Located in North Adams, but only 2 miles from downtown Williamstown and the Williams campus. The cottage has a living room, kitchen, full bathroom, bedroom, sunroom/office space, spacious dry basement, and a deck. Thoughtful updates to the space include: updated kitchen and bathroom, rooftop solar array, central HVAC heat pump system, hybrid electric water heater, and improved insulation/weatherization. The space is clean, quiet, semi-secluded, and connected to nature. We have planted fruit trees and bushes throughout the shared yard (apple, cherry, pear, peach, plum, quince, blackberry, raspberry, grape, and blueberry). The shared driveway has room for up to 2 cars for the cottage. The solar array produces enough electricity to offset normal electricity usage during summer months. The electricity bill during the coldest/darkest months of the year is usually $200 to $300 a month from December through March. The heat pump HVAC system is efficient, and we had blow-in insulation added to the attic, so heating/cooling costs are very reasonable. Ideal tenant(s) would be clean, quiet, respectful, and able to share driveway and yard spaces with the main house on the property. We have invested a lot of time, resources, and care into making a beautiful, thoughtful home. We hope to find someone who will fall in love with the space as much as we have, and will take good care of it. If you enjoy being surrounded by the mountains of New England and love falling asleep to the sound of a babbling brook, all while being close to downtown Williamstown and North Adams, then this place is perfect for you!
