Dating from the late eighteenth century, this handsome, hip-roofed Colonial home is a distinctive and stately presence gracing its two and one half acre site in historic South Williamstown and provides a glimpse into its storied past. The finely proportioned residence offers casual elegance with its three fireplaces, wide board flooring and extensive built-in cabinetry and shelving. With a unique hand-painted wall mural of Williamstown's iconic scenery complementing the warmth of the original old world architectural details, the spacious dining room awaits the hosting of many gatherings both intimate and large. The kitchen overlooks a bright solarium with woodburning stove and ample bookshelves, perfect for relaxation and reading or simply viewing the meadows beyond. Three to four bedrooms and two and one half baths, as well as an attached garage and workroom, and a large barn which affords a wide variety of options for use, complete the estate. A wonderful opportunity to inhabit a little piece of history in a beautiful New England college town.
