Colorful Cottage in Richmond
A fully updated 1960 lake cottage in Richmond Shores, with canal access to Richmond Pond, a stone fireplace, a loft, and access to Richmond Pond.
Purple, blue, and red on the outside and warmly renovated on the inside, 51 Cherry Road is a 1960 cottage in the Richmond Shores community that the current owners have put back together from top to bottom—new roof, new wiring, new hot water heater, new well pump, new sewer pump, new thermostats, new refrigerator, and a new insert in the stone fireplace that anchors the main living space. The house is compact at 1,750 square feet, but it's organized well, with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths plus a loft for extra sleeping above.
The backyard has canal access to Richmond Pond, and a community beach and public boat ramp are close by. Bousquet Mountain is 5 miles away for skiing in winter. Lenox and Pittsfield are both within easy reach.
The house sold in 2020 for $180,000, was listed in 2023 at $649,000, and is now back on the market at its current price after a recent reduction.
51 Cherry Road, Richmond (MA) is listed at $619,000, offered by Cantred Hulse at Coldwell Banker Prime Properties, Inc.
