This sweet 3-year-old spayed female, American pit bull/hound mix is Laney. She is a lovable girl who enjoys meeting new people, going for walks, and singing like a hound dog! She’s a moderate energy type of girl who will require a hike every now and then, but once her energy levels are met, she’s content to snuggle up on the couch with you.

Laney does not prefer the companionship of other female dogs or rambunctious male dogs, but could potentially live with a calm, mellow male dog as well as dog-savvy cats. She has recently made fast friends with adoptable dog Bandit! Laney is completely house trained and could live with respectful children aged 10-years and older. Laney is an incredibly nice girl who has been patiently waiting since September 23rd for her forever family, and a donor has graciously sponsored $50 off her adoption fee.

We're open W p Mon – Frii 8am – 4pm 8 4 pm

Home For Sale

Master builder with his wife’s design restored and built this new home which welcomes you with a wide opulent wrap-around porch into an immense open floor plan bathed in sun-filled light from the sixty feet of glass overlooking a terraced stone wall leading to a stream and a pine forest of serenity. Life and entertainment begin here within this fully high-end equipped Chef’s kitchen with three counters. Two are Italian marble with a waterfall and custom bookcase. A baking center with a pop-up mixer and pull out shelves — oversized sink — and a prep work area plus a pot filler are all at your finger-tips.

While family/guests are at the Sequoia tree counter (seating for eight) enjoying coffee from the coffee center, or enjoying a glass of wine from the wine center sitting by the floor to ceiling nine foot wide completely restored — stone by stone and timber — George Washington time fireplace in complete serendipity. Others may be at the library/guest room enjoying the original rumford fireplace or strolling past the waterfall to the dining / guest room both having sliding glass doors for privacy. The warming drawers are off and the butlers pantry is busy with the sound of water and two dishwashers going as the evening is winding down.

There are two massive dressing rooms with custom built-in oversized dressers to complete your needs. Family/guests may take the spiral staircase to the basement to end their evening in this luxurious furnished home. Staging items are negotiable.

All inspections have been completed and approved for you to move in immediately and enjoy the Berkshires in luxury and comfort.

I look forward to hearing from you with any questions or a request for a private showing making this your perfect home. THANK-YOU.
