A Berkshires Retreat in a Garden-like Setting! A home can set the mind at ease. A house that is comfortable, open, and easy to maintain in a natural surrounding that is beautiful, peaceful, and filled with bird song. Privately situated in Alford, adjacent to conservation land with hiking trails, 65 North Egremont Rd is that serene retreat so frequently sought. Wonderful new decks surround the east and south sides of the home, lighting up at sunrise and capturing the southern sun as it arcs across the sky. An enclosed screened porch looks down upon a sweet garden pond with frogs and fish. And a second floor deck offers a treehouse setting and nighttime stargazing. Inside, dramatic high ceilings and an open layout further calm the senses. The kitchen is updated and stylish, with stone counters, a new dual fuel oven/range, and stainless appliances. The great room is surrounded by windows and sliders on three sides, and is centered around two fireplaces in a center chimney. A first floor bedroom or office, opening to a private deck, and a full bath complete the first level. Upstairs, a central landing looks down upon the first floor and serves two bedrooms and a full bath. The first bedroom walks out to a private deck that overlooks the gardens below. The second bedroom offers ample space and storage. The full bath includes a new vanity, a spa tub, and walls painted by a local artist. Major improvements in the last couple years include: whole house generator, triple pane sliders and windows, decks and screened porch, Buderus hot water tank, perimeter drainage, duel fuel range, washer/dryer, and a new septic system. The full basement has ample storage, rec room potential, and updated mechanicals. Fiber Internet onsite. Located in Alford, one of the Berkshire's most desired towns, on account of its pastoral beauty, proximity to Great Barrington, and South County's lowest tax rate. Just 8 minutes to downtown Great Barrington, and close to all Berkshire attractions.
