WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Looking for a spacious home with a luxurious kitchen on a quiet street? We have one for you in Williamstown.

Our Friday Front Porch is a weekly feature spotlighting attractive homes for sale in Berkshire County. This week, we are discussing an inviting family home at 4 Woodlawn Drive.

The house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms and was built in 1955 but was fully remodeled in 2021-2022. The asking price is $795,000.

The house is 2,100 square feet with 0.36 acres. It will come with a dishwasher, washer, refrigerator, range, range hood, dryer. Located off Cole Avenue, it's not far from Williams College, Williamstown Elementary School, Linear Park and Spring Street. 

We spoke to Erin Scott at Burnham Gold Real Estate on this property.

What do you think makes this property stand out in the current market? 

Scott: Location, location, location! This property is tucked away into a quiet residential neighborhood but only a couple blocks from the Williams College campus and downtown Williamstown. 

How would you describe the feel or atmosphere of this home?  

Scott: The atmosphere in this home is multidimensional. The amazing kitchen in this home makes me feel like I want to cook and entertain for friends & family but I could also see myself quietly relaxing with a good book in the sunroom, on the deck or in the yard. 

What kind of buyer do you see this home being perfect for?  

Scott: I think this home could appeal to many buyers.  A full time family would be a great fit, retirees, singles or second home owners alike. 

Are there any standout design features or recent renovations?  

Scott: The owner of this home spared no expense on the renovations. The kitchen is a chef's absolute dream!

What do the current owners love about the home?

Current owner: "I love the openness of the house from the front through the three rooms to the outside deck. The house was built for entertaining and because of the full home remodel, every single room was updated. The neighborhood is one of the best in Williamstown. Walking distance to school, the college downtown and restaurants." 

What was your first impression of the home? 

Scott: Why would they ever want to sell this gem!? You can tell they put a lot of thought, attention to detail, and heart into all the renovations. 

What kind of neighborhood is it?  

Scott: The neighborhood has a great community feel. It's quiet, but super easy to access downtown, the elementary school and Williams College.

Mount Greylock School Committee OKs Budget Without Adding Elementary School Position

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Mount Greylock Regional School Committee approved a fiscal year 2027 spending plan  on Thursday that officials characterize as a "level services" budget.
 
The elected body approved the same budget it reviewed two days earlier after deciding not to add an additional full-time teaching position at Williamstown Elementary School as advocated by a half-dozen WES parents who addressed the committee in the annual budget public hearing.
 
That additional position, a math interventionist sought by the WES School Council, would have added about $120,000 (for salary and benefits) to the assessment to Williamstown and raised that assessment to 14.42 percent over the amount raised for the district through Williamstown property taxes in the current fiscal year.
 
Before taking a vote to advance the budget as drafted, School Committee member Jose Constantine moved that the bottom line be increased by the $120,000 necessary for the full-time math interventionist. His motion was defeated, 4-2, with Curtis Elfenbein joining Constantine in the minority and Steven Miller, who joined the meeting late, not voting.
 
The final, original, budget then was passed on a vote of 6-0, setting the stage for the district's presentation to the Williamstown Finance Committee on Wednesday and to the Lanesborough Fin Comm and Select Board on April 6.
 
Ultimately, the budget will show up on the annual town meeting warrants in Lanesborough and Williamstown, where voters later this spring will have an up-or-down vote. The budget approved on Thursday would raise the assessment to Williamstown by 13.61 percent, year-to-year, and in Lanesborough by 10.99 percent.
 
Williamstown would be on the hook for $16.8 million (up about $2 million from FY26). Lanesborough's assessment would be $7.6 million (up by $751,000).
