Motivated Seller! This property offers a rare mix of history, land, and adventure. Approximately 1,890 sq. ft. of living space and about 38 acres of natural beauty. Once the town’s original general store and later the summer home of Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, this property is rich in history and nestled in the Dell neighborhood. Enjoy a beautiful 40-foot waterfall in the backyard along Mill Brook, plus the remnants of a former hydroelectric plant. Across the street, a large parcel with a recently passed perc test offers a blank canvas for your vision. Whether you're seeking privacy, recreational land, hunting opportunities, or a peaceful retreat, this property delivers. Just minutes from Berkshire East Mountain Resort, enjoy skiing, mountain biking, and whitewater rafting. House and land across the street can be sold separately! A rare opportunity to own a piece of Western Massachusetts history.
