A Great Barrington MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase.

This is one of  my favorite Great Barrington, Ma. breakfast places.  Not only is the food fresh, the service is friendly and responsive.  Martin's is a Great Barrington institution for both locals and  Second Home Owners.  Eggs &  Pancakes go great with the  Berkshire Mountain View you see through the large front window that overlooks Railroad Street.  During the height of the summer season be prepared to wait to get a table, it is not uncommon to see people lining up to get into this cozy spot.

Great Barrington, Ma. Real Estate / Living A Country Life  Restaurants have always been a big part of my lifestyle....Here in Great Barrington, Ma. we lost 2 good ones over the last few weeks...One was very sad and untimely, the chef/owner was killed in an automobile accident  Our community has grieved the loss of the young and promising chef /owner Jonathan of Pearls restaurant in Great Barrington, Ma. .

NY. It was such a well loved pl...
