About This Home
Deadline for Highest & Best Offers Mon. 7/27 @ 5:00PM! Welcome to your summer escape on one of the Berkshires' most quintessential lakes. This architect-redesigned cottage blends classic New England charm with thoughtful, modern updates- the result is a home that feels both timeless and completely turn-key.

The living space opens up to the new composite deck built for summer evening gatherings & morning coffee. Set on a perfect stretch of shoreline, this is the magical summer cottage you've been waiting for: still water in the morning, swimming and paddling in the afternoon, and stars overhead at night. A private dock offers easy mooring for your boat.The property comes fully furnished and includes kayaks and a canoe, so all you need to bring is yourself — the water is calling, and there's still time to make this summer yours!
