The current owner states: This historic house has been renovated with artistic sensitivity and with 21st-century advancements. Two builders from a 19th-century Shaker community in Savoy teamed up with original landowners to build center-chimney Capes, the popular design of that time. Many such homes were built in this town and several have survived. This classic structure with 200-year-old hardware and simple yet delightful woodwork is not only historic but extraordinarily comfortable. The outside walls have been well insulated and double-glazed windows have been installed throughout providing quiet space and heating advantages. The south-facing Shaker-inspired design enjoys abundant sunlight even in the winter months, with two well-installed wood stoves and propane backup for easy and continuous heating as well as relaxed living. The house has an excellent well that delivers delicious water, a gray-water septic system and a small solar system that provides convenience as well as classic beauty. More importantly, this historic homesite on a small road in rural Savoy enjoys Elon Musk's Starlink Internet with high speeds and near-flawless performance. The best of both worlds! This well-preserved 19th-century home also has a simple but comfortable porch that overlooks a long-established beaver pond visited by every known creature living in the Berkshire Forests, some of the last interconnected forests left on earth that enable clean air and reasonable protections from the elevating climate as well as amazing beauty in a complex world.
