This stunning architectural home boasts green construction with bamboo flooring with radiant heat throughout, with the exception of the basement, and although the house is new, it was built with little to no formaldehyde, as green and healthy as can be! There is an air to air exchanger - so breathe easy! There are two stereo systems with speakers in the kitchen, living room and office/den and another system in the basement.
On the main floor, the chef's kitchen is roomy and well equipped with bar stools and a separate dining area with a Danish table with seating for up to 14.
A few steps down will take you to the sunken living room with lounge seating and a glass door that takes you out to the backyard. Cable or satellite TV is not offered but there is a flat screen TV with DVD player.
A few steps up will take you to the bedroom and bathroom corridor. There are three lovely bedrooms: the master suite has a king bed with full bathroom. The bathroom has a shower stall and separate tub. Two other delightful bedrooms, one with a queen sized bed and another with two twins: both with its own full bath bathroom. One has a tub/shower combo and the other a shower only. All the bed mattresses are made from natural organic latex and have cotton/wool covers.
There is an office on the next level up. The office also has a queen blow-up mattress, if needed.
The lower level/basement is light and airy and has a delightful playroom with another glass door which takes you outside. There is an Stereo turntable with LPs for your use - fun! There is also a washer and dryer on this level.
Once outside, there are two terraces - one off the kitchen dining room and another off the master. There is also a cedar play-set, 3 children's bikes, 2 scooters and two lake boogie boards.
Lake Mansfield, which is Castle Hill's favorite summer hang-out for the locals, is only 2 blocks from this marvelous home with: swimming, picnic tables, BBQ grills, children's playground, fishing, kayaking and the ice cream man is known to come around most days. There is a sunny, sandy, beach with a lifeguard from MD - LD.
The Berkshires is known for its wonderful shopping, restaurants, galleries, live theater, hiking trails, swimming holes, and ski resorts. We pretty much have it all here and Great Barrington is central to all of these activities and more.
