Enjoy the relaxing Berkshire lifestyle on a friendly cul-de-sac within walking distance of town and Lake Mansfield. As the first house built on the street, the property has matured beautifully -- seasonal flowering trees and pollinator-friendly gardens bring color and life to the yard from spring through fall. Cedar columns frame a distinctive front door that opens into 3,800 square feet of tastefully designed living space, where soaring ceilings, a linear gas fireplace, and built-in bookcases set the tone. The living room flows out to a screened-in porch with a treehouse-like view of the wooded backyard -- the perfect spot for morning coffee or summer evenings. The chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and granite countertops, and opens to the dining area and living room for easy entertaining. Also on the main floor: a primary suite with walk-in closet and spacious bath, two additional bedrooms (one with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves), a full bath, a half bath, and dedicated mud and laundry rooms. Thoughtful, ample storage is built in throughout the home. The lower level offers a large central den with French doors that open to the back lawn, two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile multi-purpose room featuring a Finnish sauna -- ideal as a home gym, studio, or creative space. An attached two-car garage with EV charger makes daily life easy, and a leased solar system locks in electric bills at just $257/month through 2048, at which point the panels convey to the homeowner and electricity is essentially free. The low HOA fee of $236/month covers the community pool, snow removal, and maintenance of the common areas and roads. The location is hard to beat: 20 minutes to Tanglewood, 10 minutes to Ski Butternut, and an easy drive to the museums, restaurants, and cultural attractions that make the Berkshires such a beloved year-round destination. Miles of hiking trails are right at your doorstep. A truly distinctive home for anyone ready to embrace everything the Berkshires have to offer.
