By Breanna SteelePrint Story | Email Story

SHEFFIELD, Mass.— Are you looking for a single family home surrounded by livestock and greenery. Then this might be the home for you.

Our Friday Front Porch is a weekly feature spotlighting attractive homes for sale in Berkshire County. This week, we are showcasing a single-family home at 1786 South Under Mountain Rd.

This 1950 home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It is 2,408 square feet with one acre and has an asking price is $895,000.

It comes with a dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, washing machine and dryer. The house also comes with a built in heated pool and a two-bay garage with a second floor loft.

We spoke to Juliet Moore with Elyse Harney Real Estate.

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

You can just walk right in and unpack. Super floor plan and very comfortable.  A lovely pool in a tranquil setting.

Are there any standout design features or recent renovations? 

I love the stone chimney and fireplace surround, the large living room, a separate dining room but open to the kitchen, a main floor primary bedroom and en-suite bath, new windows, and two-bay garage with a second floor, plus the pool!

Do you know any unique stories about the home or its history? 

We never talk about the people but it has been well loved.

What would you say to a buyer trying to imagine their life in this space? 

It is perfectly located between Salisbury in north west Connecticut and the Berkshires so you have fabulous schools, restaurants, shops, skiing, hiking, lakes, etc. to enjoy in all directions. With the Primary Bedroom downstairs, children or guests can enjoy the two Bedrooms and Bath upstairs with some privacy - and the landing is large enough for seating or desks.

What was your first impression when you stepped foot into this home? 

I loved the size of the living room and the flow of the floor plan - also the primary bedroom being on the main floor.  There is a large basement that could be enjoyed with some finishing - but also, the second floor of the garage would make a super gym, media room, etc. I love options for future enjoyment of a property.

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

Very comfortable and a white canvas for your decorating.

What kind of neighborhood is it?  

There's a wonderful large farm on two sides and you often have beautiful cows lined up on the property line. Then there is state land just a little bit north with longhorn cattle, which are fabulous.  No other houses are on top of you but you are also not isolated.

You can find out more about this house on its listing.

Berkshire Health Systems Dedicates Fairview Hospital Laboratory to Gene Dellea

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Berkshire Health Systems has dedicated the renovated Fairview Hospital Laboratory to Eugene Dellea, the longtime former president of Fairview and the former Hillcrest Hospital, and a senior leader at BHS for decades. 
 
The Gene Dellea Laboratory at Fairview Hospital is designed to honor Dellea's extraordinary legacy of service to healthcare in Berkshire County,
 
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on Monday, June 29, at Fairview, bringing together nearly 50 guests, including Dellea's family and friends, local elected officials including state Rep. Leigh Davis, BHS trustees and staff, and Fairview employees. 
 
Welcomed by BHS President & CEO Darlene Rodowicz, a series of speakers reflected on his decades of dedication to healthcare in the Berkshires, his leadership at Hillcrest and Fairview, and his lasting impact on patients, colleagues, and the community. Speakers included Dr. Alec Belman, Fairview chief of staff; Tony Scibelli, BHS vice president and Fairview chief operating officer; and Select Board Chair Stephen Bannon, also a Fairview pharmacist.
 
Bannon presented Dellea with a special citation recognizing his lifelong commitment to the health and wellness of Berkshire County residents. Dellea himself shared heartfelt stories from his early years managing the lab at Hillcrest Hospital and his many years serving Fairview.
 
The celebration also recognized the generous anonymous donors whose $1 million gift made it possible for Fairview Hospital to renovate and move the clinical laboratory. The upgraded space supports improved infrastructure, new diagnostic technology and equipment, and a more convenient location for patients and staff. 
 
"This meaningful investment honors Gene's remarkable legacy while strengthening the care Fairview provides to the nearly 30,000 people who rely on its laboratory services each year," said Rodowicz.
