79 View Dr, Richmond, MA 01254

Light-Filled Contemporary with Big Mountain Views! Stunning. Sweeping. Inspiring. Such is the experience sitting on the back deck of this one-level modern ranch-style home. Set on 1.5 landscaped acres, perched up on View Drive, this 1,947 sq ft house looks northward, across Bartlett's apple orchards, towards the mountains of central and north Berkshire County. Mt Greylock can be seen on a clear day. Inside, this sweet home is perfect the way it is, but also has the bones and location for further investment. An open living and dining area connects to the large back deck and its expansive vistas. A primary bedroom with en-suite bath also opens directly to the rear deck. Nearby are two more bedrooms and a full bath. On the other side of the home, beyond a mudroom, half bath, and laundry, is a bright and cheery artist's studio with mountain views; this fun space could also be used as an office or secondary living area. The house has both hot water baseboards and mini-split (energy efficient heat pump) heating and cooling. A generator keeps everything running smoothly in adverse weather. And the attached garage is oversized, allowing for storage beyond two cars. WATER is Spring-fed, provided by a community water group association. Annual cost is approximately $1,200/year, which is subject to variation if repairs are needed. Enjoy seeing fields of apple blossoms in the spring, pick your own apples at Bartlett's in the fall, and savor the country store's famed apple cider doughnuts year round. Located in the much coveted town of Richmond, this home is close to Berkshire attractions and conveniences. Only 10 minutes to Lenox's lively downtown eating scene, Tanglewood, and grocery shopping at Guido's and Market 32. Stockbridge, Great Barrington, Williamstown, and Mass Moca in North Adams are all within easy reach. Perfectly sited and situated, this property is ideal for those seeking light, space, views, and a well maintained and updated home.
