Only 2 hours from the Berkshires, Think of the Changes it Brings...

Accent Insights

BERKSHIRE COUNTY is only 2 hours away on the Pike, and oh the changes it brings. It is, of course, still in Massachusetts and subject to all the same real estate laws and regulations. And yet, Berkshire County differs in custom and practice from the rest of the state. We discuss the pragmatic differences. [**Segment starts at the 6:20 mark**]. Although we're primarily active in the metro-Boston area, we are also engaged in Berkshire and have cross-over clients. It's not just the Boston Symphony Orchestra that summers there. Many Boston area folk head west, in the Summer for cultural institutions such as Tanglewood and Jacob's Pillow, and in the winter for skiing. Before that, we discuss a new home for sale at a prime location in Brookline, at 88 Coolidge St. It's a large, renovated condo with some stunning features including a cathedral ceiling in the main bedroom. But the developer made some interesting layout choices: ie. no ensuite baths and a closed kitchen. Can this command $731 per square foot? 4 beds, 2 full baths, 2 outdoor parking, 2290 square feet. Listed at $1.675,000 We'd love to hear from you. Email us!
