Williamsburg, Massachusetts, is a small town located in Hampshire County along the banks of the Mill River. Williamsburg was settled in 1735 and today is home to almost 2,500 year-round residents, many of whom live in the wooded countryside surrounding this quaint New England town. Williamsburg features a large historic district that boasts some of beautifully-restored Victorian homes, including several colonial-revivals style buildings and classic federal-style farmhouses. In 1874, a massive flood destroyed many of the homes that had been built along the Mill River, so much of the architecture in the area is from the 19th or 20th century. Homes around Williamsburg are often smaller and relatively new, with a large number of cabins, Cape style cottages, and post-and-beam contemporary homes situated on large, private lots. Newer developments in the area also offer a variety of modern, luxury homes featuring all the latest in design and convenience. Watch the snow fall from your farmhouse porch, miles from the stress of the big city. Don't hesitate to sign up for an open house in Williamsburg today and claim one of New England's hidden gems for your very own.
