Experience the luxury of gracious proportions, impeccable details, and stunning design in this exquisite classical villa that would be as at home in Italy as it is in the Berkshire landscape. Protected views of mountains, rolling hills, and meadows surround the 6.9-acre estate. The atmosphere of sophisticated luxury begins with the approach through an allee of willow trees and in the front courtyard, edged with stately Bradford pear trees and arbor vitae and anchored by the 2716sf, single-level residence and a matched pair of outbuildings--a two-car garage and a garden house.

The front entry of architect-designed residence leads to a luminous interior with tall ceilings, reflective white walls, generous windows and 19 screened French doors that welcome sunlight and breezes and provide for ideal interior-exterior living. To the left of the entry are a living room with a wood-burning Rumford fireplace and hallway to the primary suite with an airy, comfortable bedroom, refined, restorative bath, and walk-in closet/dressing room. To the right, a spacious dining room, well-appointed kitchen, screened porch, and hallway to two bedrooms and full bath. The U-shaped floor plan embraces a secluded formal garden, reflecting pool with fountain, patio with pergola, and 40' lap pool.


Completed in 1998, every element of the residence attests to architectural intelligence, superior craftsmanship, and love for the bucolic landscape. The high level of quality is evident in the visually commanding millwork, true stucco exterior, lath-and plaster walls in the principal rooms, east and south pergolas, west-facing screened porch, and sensitive choreography of space. With roots in the classical architecture of ancient Rome, this is a thoroughly modern dwelling replete with whole-house fan, air conditioning, generator, security system, 630-foot drilled well, and chef-ready appliances.


The result is a home that feels both sculptural and deeply connected to its setting. With protected views, total privacy, and proximity to South County amenities (7 minutes to Guido's), this is a rare Berkshire offering -- serene, architecturally stunning, and eminently livable.
