Friday Front Porch Feature: A Cape House for You

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.

New Universally Accessible Sheffield Trail To Be Highlighted on Guided Walk

SHEFFIELD, Mass. — The Sheffield Land Trust will hold its annual Fall Property Walk on Sunday, Dec. 7 at 1 pm at its Ashley Falls Woods property off Rte 7A in Ashley Falls.  
 
The guided walk will highlight the completion of the first phase of upgrading a section of trail to be universally accessible.  Signage and other improvements will follow in subsequent phases.
 
Join guides Elia Delmolino and Neal Chamberlain to experience this new recreational opportunity.
 
Neal Chamberlain is the long-time Land Trust volunteer who guides the maintenance of the trails, and Elia DelMolino is from Greenagers, whose youth work crews have been busy this summer and fall in transforming 0.3 miles of the existing trail into an ADA-compliant accessible trail. The trail of compacted stone dust wanders through mowed meadows and forest, with a new bridge and boardwalk crossing the stream and wet areas.
 
The Land Trust thanked Greenagers, for making this trail accessible and the Berkshire Environmental Endowment, Eagle Fund, Fields Pond Foundation, and MassTrails for the grants that helped fund the work.
 
Before the walk, enjoy seasonal refreshments. Please wear good walking shoes and warm clothing.
 
This event is free, open to the public and family friendly.
