Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, this home offers privacy & access to Yokum Pond & Buckley Dunton Lake & borders 16,500 ac. October Mountain State Forest. You are just a short walk away from swimming, tennis & dock access, as well as excellent fishing & kayaking. Extensive home upgrades include conversion to a hot water baseboard heat, and a complete master bathroom renovation. Conveniently located to Berkshire attractions - including Jacob's Pillow, Tanglewood, Lenox & Great Barrington only 10 min to groceries, & the Mass Pike
