WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Looking for a spacious home with a luxurious kitchen on a quiet street? We have one for you in Williamstown.

Our Friday Front Porch is a weekly feature spotlighting attractive homes for sale in Berkshire County. This week, we are discussing an inviting family home at 4 Woodlawn Drive.

The house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms and was built in 1955 but was fully remodeled in 2021-2022. The asking price is $795,000.

The house is 2,100 square feet with 0.36 acres. It will come with a dishwasher, washer, refrigerator, range, range hood, dryer. Located off Cole Avenue, it's not far from Williams College, Williamstown Elementary School, Linear Park and Spring Street. 

We spoke to Erin Scott at Burnham Gold Real Estate on this property.

What do you think makes this property stand out in the current market? 

Scott: Location, location, location! This property is tucked away into a quiet residential neighborhood but only a couple blocks from the Williams College campus and downtown Williamstown. 

How would you describe the feel or atmosphere of this home?  

Scott: The atmosphere in this home is multidimensional. The amazing kitchen in this home makes me feel like I want to cook and entertain for friends & family but I could also see myself quietly relaxing with a good book in the sunroom, on the deck or in the yard. 

What kind of buyer do you see this home being perfect for?  

Scott: I think this home could appeal to many buyers.  A full time family would be a great fit, retirees, singles or second home owners alike. 

Are there any standout design features or recent renovations?  

Scott: The owner of this home spared no expense on the renovations. The kitchen is a chef's absolute dream!

What do the current owners love about the home?

Current owner: "I love the openness of the house from the front through the three rooms to the outside deck. The house was built for entertaining and because of the full home remodel, every single room was updated. The neighborhood is one of the best in Williamstown. Walking distance to school, the college downtown and restaurants." 

What was your first impression of the home? 

Scott: Why would they ever want to sell this gem!? You can tell they put a lot of thought, attention to detail, and heart into all the renovations. 

What kind of neighborhood is it?  

Scott: The neighborhood has a great community feel. It's quiet, but super easy to access downtown, the elementary school and Williams College.

Willinet Cameras to Capture Monday's Williamstown Select Board Session

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Select Board's third-floor meeting to complete its evaluation process for the town manager will be televised by the town's public, educational and governmental television station.
 
Willinet Executive Director Teri Yuan confirmed this week that the station will put a camera in the upstairs conference room to record a planned 8 p.m. single-item agenda meeting to do the annual review of Town Manager Robert Menicocci.
 
The board at its last meeting decided to break the evaluation out from its regular 7 p.m. meeting in the first floor Community Meeting room, which is set up with multiple cameras and audio equipment to facilitate live Willinet telecasts of most public meetings of town boards and committees.
 
The Select Board offered no real explanation for the desire to complete the evaluation in an otherwise public meeting outside of view from Willinet's cameras other than a desire to "sit around the table" rather than sit on one side of a large table along one side of the first floor meeting room.
 
The "sit around the table" talk was particularly puzzling given the fact that Willinet has a camera mounted on the wall behind the spot where Menicocci generally sits for Select Board meetings, a camera that gives a full view of both sides of the table, and an angle that Willinet frequently uses when panels like the Finance Committee invite participants to sit across the table from the committee to give testimony.
 
Perhaps the real reason is better explained by a joking comment from one Select Board member at the Sept. 28 meeting who indicated that doing the evaluation without access to things like Zoom capability was "the object" of moving that business to the third-floor meeting room.
 
The evaluation discussion on Monday evening will follow on a survey of the five board members assessing Menicocci's performance in fiscal year 2026, which ended on June 30.
