A Cute and Colorful Cottage: $249K

  |  January 3, 2025

This cute and colorful cottage in Great Barrington is perfect for someone who wants just the right amount of space.

No, the price tag is not five figures, but it’s relatively reasonable given the local market values. The red clapboard exterior has accents of color in the front porch and the door.

This lil mudroom/sunporch/foyer is nicely finished with white walls, a rustic chair rail that matches the hardwood flooring, and a handy shoe bench and coat hooks.

A thick brick column anchors one end of the U-shaped kitchen.

A grouted-tile countertop and backsplash may not everybody’s cup of tea, so the new owner might consider changing those out. But the cabinets look decent. A stacked washer and dryer are tucked into a corner by the sunroom doors.

The living room is at the other end of the open-concept space. A built-in TV stand saves space.

Here, you can see there’s a breakfast bar on one side of the kitchen counter.

Head upstairs…

…to a nice-sized bedroom with that brick column punching through the middle of it. Wall-to-wall carpeting covers the floor, and a closet offers storage.

Plus, nooks within an opposite wall provide more closet space.

The bathroom has this cute clawfoot tub.

The house measures a mere 616 square feet, and sits on almost a quarter-acre of land off a dirt road that’s only a block off Great Barrington’s main drag.

In other words, it’s perfect—for the right person.
