Property Description

Nearly net-zero living, timeless charm, and a peaceful setting with bird-friendly pollinator gardens! This charming Tudor-inspired English Cottage on the hill in Turners Falls blends distinctive architecture and original craftsmanship with extensive modern improvements and exceptional energy efficiency, preserving its character while incorporating today's energy-saving technology. Its impressive features include owned solar panels, geothermal heating and cooling, and a heat pump water heater. In 2025, the solar system generated enough electricity to offset 96% of the property's annual electric needs, including heating, cooling, hot water, and charging a fully electric vehicle! Inside, beautifully preserved original woodwork and hardwood floors reflect the home's timeless appeal. The living room features a fireplace with a wood stove insert, while the dining room has a slider leading to the brick patio with views of the grounds. French doors from both rooms open into the sunroom, surrounded by windows, creating a wonderful flow between the living spaces. The updated kitchen features custom oak cabinetry and wood floors. Both bathrooms have been renovated, including a stylish first-floor bath with a walk-in shower, slate floor, vaulted ceiling, and skylight, adjoining a convenient mudroom and laundry area. Outside, professionally designed pollinator gardens provide a welcoming habitat for birds and pollinators, while the patio and pergola offer a peaceful spot to relax or entertain. Additional highlights include extensive insulation, new insulated windows, a detached garage with an attached shed, and a Level 2 EV charger. A special property where classic architecture, thoughtful upgrades, and sustainable living come together!
