244 Oblong Rd, Williamstown, MA 01267

Spectacular views of Mt. Greylock and the Hopper and 7 acres of landscaped open lawn with perennial beds and meadows full of wild flowers surround this classic New England cape-style home on one of the most desirable locations in Williamstown. Originally designed by architect, Prentice Bradley, over $600,000 of renovations were made to the house in 2011. The custom-built chef’s kitchen includes eighty square feet of granite counter-top, top-of-the-line appliances, butler’s pantry, lighted cabinetry, and dining area in front of a large picture window with mountain, field and pond views. A gas fireplace with a custom-crafted mantle, marble inlay and blue stone hearth make this room warm and cozy at the touch of a button. A butler’s door in the kitchen opens up to a grand dining room that, along with the living room, boasts magnificent views of Mt. Greylock and the Hopper. A large step-down living room includes a wood-burning fireplace, wall of built-in bookshelves, and is a wonderful place to entertain or spend time with your family. A wife foyer leads to a separate wing on the first floor that offers a library with a second wood-burning fireplace and wet bar, as well as a large master suite with dressing room and en-suite bath. The flooring on the first level is made of white oak, the majority of which are quarter-sewn, random-width floor boards. All wood floors in the house were refinished in 2010. The second floor offers a wide hallway with built-in bookcases and dormers, two large bedrooms with mountain views, a “child’s delight” playroom, and a full bath. In addition, there is a large guest suite with en-suite bath. The guest suite connects to a back stairway leading down to the kitchen. The entire house has an abundance of large closets and storage space including a cedar closet. An over-sized garage with a third bay for storage, wine cellar, covered porch, flag stone patio and stone wall with perennial garden complete the picture. The back yard had a huge oak tree that provides just the right amount of shade over the patio and lawn. Four raised beds for gardening enthusiasts. There is a lovely pond in front of the house that attracts many species of birds; a new split-rail fence was built in 2014.
