294 N Plain Rd, Great Barrington, MA 01230

Located behind a roadside picket fence and gate on 3.5 park-like acres, this 1942 Cape is as charming as it is gracious. One feels like you are secluded in the woods. The property includes a separate multi-bay barn/garage building that would make a terrific guesthouse, workspace or studio. The main house has a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The kitchen, which has granite counters, a farmhouse sink, and a Dynasty stove, opens to the dining area. A first floor guest bedroom has a full bath, while upstairs there are two more bedrooms that share a full bath, and a master suite with a large en suite dressing room and newly added soaker tub to complement pre-existing half bath. There are hardwood floors throughout, and a first floor laundry. The south-facing screened porch overlooks landscaped grounds with large established rhododendron and hydrangea bushes, along with old-growth specimen trees, perennial gardens, and stone patios. A new roof was installed in 2006, and the house has excellent Internet and cell-phone service. Ideally situated five minutes north of downtown Great Barrington, this home offers easy access to the villages of Housatonic, Stockbridge, West Stockbridge and the Mass Pike.
