About the host
Hosted by Jim Youngerman
My wife is a dancer/singer/ photographer & I am a visual artist/set designer. We are artists who do creative projects in many locations; from designing theatrical sets for Shakespeare & Co in Lenox to mounting exhibitions of our work. Additionally, we redesign and construct houses, with this house being the crown jewel of our endeavors and as such is a sanctuary.
Why they chose this property
This house was originally built by a well known educator who started a school in Stockbridge in the 1960's. He had this beautiful, small Modern house designed and built. My wife and I later designed an addition and redesigned the interior, completeing the work in '05. Because the setting is so beautiful, we designed the house to bring the outside in. We accomplished this by using windows & skylights copiously throughout and also, by designing cathedral ceilings in every room. The white pickled ash flooring throughout bounces the light. When one is here, there is a sense of quietude and peacefulness which resonates throughout. All the fixtures and materials used are top shelf and the workmanship is of the highest quality. All of this, and you're only a short 3 mile drive north on Rt. 183 to Tanglewood & Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. In the other direction, head south on Rt 183 and you'll find Stockbridge center in about 6 minutes. On your way to town you'll pass the Berkshire Botanical gardens and the Norman Rockwell Museum. We are confident you will find this a comfortable and lovely home in the perfect location for your Berkshire retreat.
What makes this property unique
My wife and I instantly fell in love with this house 25 years ago because of it's style, beauty, solitude and tranquility. It is centrally located and minutes to many cultural venues, including Tanglewood, which is just up the road. Stockbridge Bowl is a stones throw away. The unique design and perfect location is why we love this place
