1987 Colonial With Over 1,000 Feet of Housatonic River Frontage in Sheffield

Set well back from the road on 4 private acres in Sheffield, 249 Boardman Street has 1,361 feet of Housatonic River frontage—an unusual amount at any price point—with sunset views from the deck that face directly west across the water.

The main floor hosts an updated kitchen into a great room with a wood-burning fireplace, dining area, and sliding glass doors opening to the deck. A first-floor office or den offers flexibility as a guest room or library, and a half bath and breezeway connecting the two-car garage complete the level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has its own wood-burning fireplace and an en-suite bath, with the river views. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath—4 bedrooms and 2 full baths plus a half in total across 2,800 square feet. A finished basement rec room adds flex space below.

Sheffield is the southernmost town in Berkshire County, with the Housatonic defining much of its character and its real estate. The Colonel John Ashley House, the oldest surviving house in Massachusetts, is a few miles away. Great Barrington is 10 minutes north. The property sold in 2020 for $616,000 and has been relisted by the current owners at nearly double that price.

249 Boardman Street, Sheffield (MA) is listed at $1,200,000, offered by Claudia Laslie at William Raveis Berkshire.
