About this home

The driveway winds through mature woods before opening to an expansive setting that includes the 7.5-acre house parcel plus an adjacent 2.8-acre lot. Approximately one acre of lawn and mowed field surrounds the two-story home, providing sunlight and ample space for gardening, recreation, animals, or simply enjoying open land. Built in 1950, the home features an open floor plan connecting the living, dining, and kitchen areas--an arrangement that can be easily re-imagined or updated to suit a buyer's vision. The great room showcases natural wood finishes, a cathedral ceiling, and a fireplace. A sunken sunspace captures the southeastern light beautifully, especially in the winter months and a 3-season porch for warm summer days. The property offers multiple future options: open up a larger, more expansive view, build an additional residence on the adjoining parcel, or take advantage of the home's current configuration, which allows for two separate living units. Each unit could offer 1 bedroom and 1 bath, or the home could function as a 2-bedroom/1-bath main residence with a studio apartment--each with its own kitchen and private entrance. Located off a quiet and scenic walking road, the setting is surrounded by open farmland and elevated views of Mt. Greylock and the Taconic Range. A short walk brings you to Field Farm, a Trustees of Reservations property with trails and stunning vistas. A rare combination of privacy, acreage, flexibility, and classic South Williamstown charm.
