GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Looking for a modern house that feels like you're in the middle of nature? Then this house is for you.

 

Our Friday Front Porch is a weekly feature spotlighting attractive homes for sale in Berkshire County. This week, we are discussing an inviting family home at 21 Kalliste Hill.

 

The house has three bedrooms, with the primary and en suite on the first floor, and 2 1/2 bathrooms and was built in 1981. The asking price is $1,495,000.

 

The property is 2,900 square feet with 5.12 acres. It comes with a dishwasher, washer, dryer, refrigerator, range, microwave, and its own water treatment system.

 

The property not only has an attached two-car garage but also a heated in-ground pool, and a scenic koi pond you can see from the dining room. It also has a large two-horse stable that can be used as a workshop or garage but has space to do more.

 

We spoke to Tom Lynch with the Berkshire Property Agents Teams at Compass Real Estate in Great Barrington.

Lynch: Potential buyers have been "wowed" by the views. 

 

Are there any underutilized spaces with potential for transformation?

Lynch: The original owners had two horses which grazed in the field. 

 

What do the current owners love most about the home? 

 

Lynch: It's proximity to Main Street, Great Barrington. Less than 5 minutes down the hill. There is actually a path so one can walk to town.
