257 Main St, Hancock, MA 01237

Historic Hancock Residence Restored and Updated. This superb and recently updated colonial reflects several different eras from the past. The oldest portion may well reach back to the early 1700s, the main house is said to have been originally built in the 1780s and was later updated around the 1920s when the two story sun porches were added. Then the current owners began their total renovation in 2008. This handsome time tested home will delight anyone drawn to architecture reflecting the New England character. The impressive stately center hall Federal style home offers loads of room including three bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, very large open kitchen, family and dining combination, formal living room with fireplace and sun porch. The floors are all native woods and some counters in the kitchens are from reclaimed walls in the house. The rear wing of the house contains 3 bedrooms (the largest is on the first floor), full bath (on the first floor), full kitchen, living and dining that can easily be either part of the main house or separated off for in-laws, guests or Airbnb. There are over 7 acres of level land containing a garage, large barn, and two other excellent "sheds" for your winter wood supply and toys. All of this lies within a few minutes of the Jiminy Peak four season resort, 20 minutes to Williamstown or Pittsfield, 30 minutes to Tanglewood, 45 minutes to the Albany airport and less than an hour to the commuter train to NYC.
