Set along a country road in Washington, this lovingly preserved 1845 Cape feels like stepping into a simpler, more peaceful way of life. From the moment you walk in, wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and the soft glow of a wood stove create a sense of warmth and comfort that's hard to find today. On snowy Berkshire evenings, this is the kind of home where you curl up with a book, listen to the fire crackle, and let the world slow down.
Surrounded by nature, the setting offers a front-row seat to the wildlife that makes the Berkshires so special. Deer wandering through the yard, birdsong in the mornings, and the quiet rhythm of the woods become part of everyday life here. Step outside for cross-country skiing, winter walks, or nearby hiking trails, and enjoy the changing seasons right outside your door.
It's a true retreatprivate and serene, yet not isolated. Route 8 and downtown Pittsfield are just a short drive away, making it easy to enjoy country living while staying connected to shops, dining, and the Berkshires' cultural attractions. Whether you're looking for a full-time home or a weekend escape, this timeless Cape offers character, tranquility, and a deep sense of place. Homes like this don't just shelter youthey welcome you in and invite you to stay awhile.
