About This Home

As of January 2025

Renovated and expanded in 2020, this home retains its historical charm, but includes all of the conveniences of modern life. Once the first schoolhouse in Becket, this lovely home is situated on over 3 acres and bordered by a stream. The location feels private but is close to everything that you need. Drive right down the road to a general store or the post office, south on Route 8 to Lee or north to Pittsfield. The open floor plan is light and bright, with great flow from the kitchen into the living room. A loft provides extra space and opportunity.Down the hall, there are three bedrooms overlooking the private setting and deck, and two large full bathrooms. A two car garage with a bonus space above provides ample storage. A beautiful, quaint home that's not to be missed!
