Monterey, Berkshire County, Massachusetts

MONTEREY  - Built just about 50 years ago, this home is thoroughly renovated and updated, while still being true to its roots.  This is a classic mid-century ranch with a new renovated kitcehn, bathrooms perfect for 2011 and three acres of land in desirable Monterey.

Up on a hill with some views east to Butternut - the current owners have let the trees grow in some - but the views are easily expanded and improved with some vista pruning.  The ranch home has a large renovated, but retro kitchen with new bamboo floors,  newer appliances, and a cooktop with stainless steel hood.  The large kitchen is open to the dining area and the large windows overlook the flat and sunny back yard.

There is a deck off the family room with newer birch floors.  The living room has a wall of windows that would afford wonderful views to the south.  There is also a very hip 1950's-style fireplace, currently outfitted with a propane stove for practical winter warmth.

Two of the three bedrooms share a renovated bath, and the third bedroom is an expansive master suite with walk-in closet nad master bath, also renovated.  In addition there is a screened porch on the front of the home, entry foyer and a very large basement with room to work, and keep everythin gorganized, along with space for two cars.

Monterey has a permanent population of about 1,000 people, and several thousand part-time residents who call Monterey their second home.  Monterey is a spectacularly beautiful Berkshire town with a strong commitment to conservation and as a home for artists. Lake Garfield, Lake Buel and the Bidwell House museum are just a few highlights of this wonderful town.   

You can walk to Monterey village from the home.  The town beach at Lake Garfield is a short distance away.  The home is less than ten minutes to Great Barrington, yet enjoys Monterey low, low taxes - under $2,000 a year for 2011.  Full-time or vacation & weekend living - this is a wonderful, hip family home or the perfect affordable weekend retreat!
