About this property

Gracious Home with Pool: Private and Spacious, Close to Town

This gorgeous historic home located less than two miles from the Williams campus has been fully updated, maintaining the beautiful details of a 200 year old house and adding the comforts of a modern luxury home. Perfect for a multi-generation family reunion, the 5000 square foot colonial features a state-of-the-art kitchen with a large center island that is fully set up with cookware for the most sophisticated chef. Sliding glass doors open from the kitchen onto a large blue stone patio, where guests will find a Weber grill, patio table and chairs, and fire pit.

Surrounded by a hedge of flowers, the in-ground pool is one of the largest private pools in Williamstown. Lounge by the pool or play bocce or badminton on the lush lawns surrounding the pool.

The stunning arts & crafts dining room opens onto a side deck, while the parlor opens onto a charming front porch furnished with wicker furniture. A further downstairs room has a flat screen TV and cable.

The house is furnished with eclectic artwork and furniture from around the world, collected on travels through Europe, India and Asia.

The huge master bedroom suite boasts a king sized bed, cathedral ceilings, a ceiling fan, flat screen TV with cable, and an adjoining bathroom with his/her sinks, jet tub, and elegant shower area.

An additional large bedroom has a queen sized bed and window seat, and a third large room has a queen sized bed as well as a single and charming dormer ceilings. The second and third bedrooms share a bathroom, while the fourth bedroom features a sleigh bed and its own bathroom with original claw foot tub.

A private studio apartment with bath is situated in an outbuilding on the property, and sleeps an additional 2 people. The studio is included in the price of Graduation and Alumni rentals or you can rent it separately if you like for an additional $100 per night. During the summer months, we don't rent out the studio separately from the house so if you aren't renting the studio as well, rest assured the pool will still be private to you and your party.

This house & property has a wonderful vibe - with so many wonderful spaces, it is a great place to entertain or to relax. Choose to visit the Francine & Sterling Clark Art Museum, Mass MoCA, or Tanglewood, or hike one of the many beautiful trains in the region - Mt. Greylock is on your doorstep! Or just relax at home in one the prettiest houses in Williamstown.

Choose indoors or out and make yourself at home in this lovely country setting - a perfect base to explore the beautiful Berkshires!

Lovely rambling home with lots of places to hang out. Interesting library, nice piano to play and a beautiful pool! And just 5 min drive to the world-class Clark Art Institute.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
Originally from Boston, I have lived in NYC, London, Paris and Florence. I love to travel - but I have been based in Williamstown for the past 20 years. In addition to travel, I love yoga, cycling, hiking, skiing, and sailing. If I'm not here, I'm probably off doing one of those things!

Why they chose this property

The Berkshires offer a unique combination of natural beauty and cultural sophistication. I hope that my home, furnishings, and property mirror this! I am delighted to share my comfortable home with fellow travelers who will enjoy the eclectic furnishings from my travels and treat the house as if it were their own. Nothing is more delightful than to enjoy an outing at Clark or a hike up the Pine Cobble trail on a hot summer day, and to return to the house for a dip in the pool and a barbecue on the patio!
