Description

This well-maintained 1920s bungalow offers a comfortable and practical place to live for a semester or academic year. Most of the living space is on one level, giving the home a layout that feels more like a spacious apartment than a traditional multi-story house. There are three bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study. A separate dining room complements the eat-in kitchen. The house has been carefully updated over the years, including a beautifully renovated bathroom, while retaining the character of an older New England home. The living room features a Jøtul Norwegian wood-burning stove, which makes the house especially cozy during the fall and winter. A favorite feature of the house is the three-season porch, which provides additional living space for reading, working, or simply enjoying the warmer months. The home is fully furnished and equipped for everyday living. There is a detached garage and room in the basement and attic for storage. The location is convenient to Williams College, MASS MoCA, downtown North Adams, and the outdoor recreation of the northern Berkshires, making it well suited for visiting faculty, scholars, artists, or professionals spending time in the area. This is not a luxury rental or a recently flipped property. It is a comfortable, well-cared-for home that has been lived in and maintained with care, offering a welcoming place to settle in and enjoy everything the Berkshires have to offer.
