Pride of ownership resonates through this distinctive Georgian-style brick home proudly set atop a hill in this coveted enclave of stately residences.

Experience this solid design, rich in traditional detail and character, boasting five bedrooms and two and a half baths, thoughtfully improved over the long term owners' commitment to preservation and restoration. This prominent manor style home may be coupled with the neighboring guest house which features 3 bedrooms and 1 bath plus a first floor in-law bedroom suite and a 2 car garage, if one so chooses to accommodate extended family, friends, or caregivers.
Embrace its grandeur, central location, easy-care homesite, and central convenience to all the pleasures of the Berkshires for escaping life or finding an ideal Berkshire, work-life balance. This notable structure is crowned with a slate roof replacement and finished with copper for character which exemplifies the best of period quality and longevity. Explore the details with replicate custom milled mahogany woodwork and architectural elements unique to its time period meticulously restored to honor tradition. This home is masterfully enhanced with 21st century updates--an understated new cabinet and granite kitchen encompasses its twin pantries to service function, specially outfitted with a built-in drawer style Fisher-Paykel refrigerator and dishwasher for subtle statement while cooking and entertaining in style. Notable improvements are the luxurious custom marble baths, custom period light and bath fixtures, energy efficient windows, high efficiency and modern heating/cooling, and newer hot water mechanicals. Set majestically on a modest sized homesite surrounded by mature trees for privacy and professional Lahey-designed gardens for symmetry, ease, and enjoyment.
Start the tour by being welcomed in through its elegant double door entry foyer where you'll find a sweeping two story staircase gracing the entrance with the grandeur of Berkshire life in an earlier time. Generous sized rooms with 10' ceilings and period lighting are elegantly trimmed by the warm glow of mahogany custom millwork, comfortable and inviting for everyday joy. The living spaces are grounded with gleaming refinished golden quartersawn oak floors; the centerpiece is a handsomely-finished fireplace flanked with floor-to-ceiling glass French doors. Escape to the pillared terrace for outdoor enjoyment and privacy in the carefree perennial gardens with varieties of hydrangea, evergreens, hostas, and beech trees. The light-filled dining room offers elegance and grace: it showcases a pillared floor-to-ceiling mirror, reflecting treetop views for you to enjoy while you relish dinnertime at the end of a busy day.
