The Dutch Colonial with its characteristic rounded roof has been popular in America beginning in the late 19th century, and this Great Barrington home puts a modern spin on it with dramatic lines and huge windows. The house is close to downtown Great Barrington but in a very quiet and private neighborhood. Unique features include red birch floors, floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the living spaces in sunlight and a totally updated kitchen with cherry cabinets. The six-bedroom, five-bathroom home has an expansive deck, new furnace, large living room, dining room, a downstairs family room and an attached two-car garage. Listed for $649,000 by Lance Vermeulen Real Estate.
