Higgins House: A 1920 Folk Victorian Retreat Close to the Town Center

Welcome to Higgins House, a beautifully restored Queen Anne Folk Victorian cottage built in 1920 and set 100 feet off the road in its own quiet, private setting. Located just a short stroll to downtown Great Barrington, Lake Mansfield, and Berkshire trailheads, this home blends historic charm with thoughtful, newly renovated comfort — the ideal retreat for families, couples, and culture-seekers alike.

Flooded with all-day sunlight and surrounded by mature trees, this Berkshire gem is designed for slow mornings, long dinners, and cozy evenings viewed through the lens of nature.
The Space
Higgins House honors its Folk Victorian roots with original clapboard siding, cedar shakes, and a charming enclosed porch — classic New England character softened by warm, modern interiors. Inside, intentional design choices, natural materials, and curated color palettes give the home its distinctive sense of place.
Farm Kitchen & Living Spaces
The heart of the home is the kitchen, featuring:
• A charming breakfast nook and farm-style island.
• A gas stove with range hood, microwave, and quiet dishwasher
• Sunlight pouring in from morning to afternoon

Beyond the kitchen sits a warm, relaxed dining room and a double parlor complete with comfortable sofas and accent chairs, and a large smart TV streaming access to all popular entertainment channels.

Multiple seating zones allow one group to watch TV while others play games or chat in the adjacent lounge — connected but not crowded.
