Mother-daughter duo Linda and Carly Shafiroff are shaping both homes and community in the Berkshires — blending timeless design, local craftsmanship, and a shared vision for the region’s future. 🏡✨

A new harmony rises on River Street. 🎶

The FreshGrass Annex at Porches Inn expands North Adams’ creative campus with ten modern guest rooms and three artist studios designed for both serenity and serious creative work.

Built with sustainability in mind and inspired by the city’s industrial past, the Annex complements the FreshGrass Institute’s residencies and workshops—creating a home away from home for artists, musicians, and travelers alike.

✨ As Sarah Eustis of Main Street Hospitality puts it:

“We believe strongly in North Adams and the idea that contemporary design, art, and culture can layer and coexist really well.”
