Location: Great Barrington, Berkshires, Massachusetts, USA View Map
Accommodations: House, 5 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths (Sleeps 10)
On a quiet tree-lined street, on Great Barrington’s Castle Hill, sits an immaculate, newly finished, turn-of-the-century, elegant, 5 bedroom, three story Victorian home.
The light-filled open first floor features pocket doors, a grand piano, 2 fireplaces, and formal entry - complete with a sweeping staircase that reveals fine craftsmanship and mill work of a bygone era. This first floor includes a kitchen-dining-living room combination designed with rich, soulful materials, tones, and textures, as well as a large south facing office with high speed Internet, full bath with slate lined shower, and back mud-room entry.
On the second floor there are 3 bedrooms. The master suite features a king size bed and not one, but two, walk-in closets! The luxurious master bath has a separate enclosed toilet room, a travertine stone fully enclosed shower, spacious mirrored vanity, antique French arm chair, and silk/wool rug. The second floor also provides a laundry room and a sitting room/office with wireless Internet and lovely bay windows. Two additional bedrooms face the south and west and are served by another full bath walled in ceramic and glass tiles.
The third floor features two large bedrooms, one with a hanging queen-sized bed and Temperpedic mattress. Vaulted ceilings highlight the expansive second bedroom with a spacious sitting area and a wall of windows for a bird's eye view of this sweet small town neighborhood. Both bedrooms open to a commodious marble and subway tiled bath with separate shower and claw foot tub.
A finished basement with media center, ping pong and pool tables, a half bath, and game room make this house a spectacular find.
Imagine spending your summer evenings entertaining friends on this sprawling wrap-around front porch - reminiscent of a Mississippi riverboat. Or musing to the sites and happy chatter of the children playing on our street. The intimate backyard is partially fenced and features a privately situated back porch and hot-tub, and lovingly tended vegetable and flower gardens. This is a special house in a magical neighborhood, where neighbors watch out for each other’s kids and socialize together on long summer evenings. You are just a short walk to dinner, theater and the movies in downtown Great Barrington. Heavenly Lake Mansfield Park is a short 4 blocks away.
