There is something so special about a classic Victorian from the 1880s. They were built with a level of care and space that you just don’t see anymore. This beautiful home in Sheffield is a perfect example. It has that wonderful, casual style that makes you feel relaxed the moment you walk through the door. If you love old houses that have room for everyone and everything, this is the one for you.
The main house is quite large, featuring six bedrooms! Downstairs, you’ll find a sunny living room and a big country kitchen that is just waiting for a farmhouse table and the smell of fresh coffee. There is also a formal dining room with those lovely original built-in cabinets that collectors of old homes dream about. One of the best things about this property is that it isn’t just a house—it’s a place where you can actually reach your goals. Behind the main home sits a separate 25′ x 50′ building. It was once an antique shop, but now it has been updated into a cute two-bedroom bungalow. It currently rents for $1,700 a month! That extra money could help pay your mortgage while you live in the main house.
If you love working with your hands, you are going to flip over the three-bay workshop and garage. It is a massive space perfect for car projects, woodworking, or even starting a small home business. Having this much extra room on nearly an acre of land is a very rare find. The location is just as sweet as the house. You are just a short trip away from the Sheffield Green, the local library, and Dewey Hall. It is a quiet, friendly area where you can really enjoy the beauty of the Berkshires. Plus, you are only ten minutes away from Great Barrington or the Connecticut border.
While the main house needs some updating and a little love, it is well worth the effort. Bringing an 1880s Victorian back to its full glory is a rewarding journey. With the rental income already coming in from the bungalow, you have the perfect head start. This is a chance to own a piece of history and make it your own!
