Its proximity to the center of town puts it within walking distance of restaurants and shops. The high-end Mayflower Inn & Spa is less than half a mile away. Driving to the Berkshires, in Massachusetts, takes about 90 minutes, as does driving to the Hudson Valley, in New York. To the left is a living room with a fireplace, built-in bookshelves and windows looking out onto the front lawn. Off this space is a cozy home office with more built-ins.
