Contemporary Berkshire Home with Views of Taconic Golf Course
Discover peace and beauty at this one of a kind Berkshire home designed by Maya Lin (Vietnam Memorial Wall Architect). Located in the heart of Williamstown, this house has wide views of the Taconic golf course, framed by the famous Purple Mountains. This private yet central location makes the house a perfect place for nature walks or visits to The Clark Art Museum and Williams Campus. The main living and dining area has a soaring wooden ceiling and oversize windows which let in light and views from every direction. A sunken stone fireplace and couches provide a cozy place to gather with friends and family. The house is designed with two wings surrounding an exterior central courtyard with a water feature. The bluestone courtyard is peaceful and quiet. A porch and another smaller stone patio provide a place to view the Taconic, Williams College and the mountains beyond.
The house has a unique and flexible design, so details about the setup follow for guests' planning purposes:
One wing of the house off the main room contains the primary bedroom with the king bed, the largest bathroom with a jetted tub, separate shower and bathroom alcove. There is a door to an exterior patio off of this area. In this same wing is a study with a desk and bookshelves, overlooking the courtyard water feature. This room contains a queen sleeper sofa and can function like a bedroom. The study is walled off from the king bedroom but the two rooms share access to the same large, previously mentioned bathroom.
Wing two is rather far away at the other end of the house. It contains a large bedroom with a queen bed, a small bathroom with a tub/shower combination, and an area enclosed by shoji screens which can be opened wide, or closed to provide sleeping space for children or a home office space. In the shoji screen area is a trundle bed (two twins).
The third bedroom is upstairs from the main hallway. It is a large, kid-friendly room of twin beds. There are 2 twin beds on one level, and another twin in a raised loft area accessed by a half-flight of stairs. There is also a large sectional sofa and a TV in this room. It is directly above a third bathroom, which contains a shower.
The kitchen is well-equipped. It contains 2 ovens, a microwave, dishwasher, gas range and refrigerator. All the cooking equipment you might need and place settings for 15 are available.
The laundry/mudroom area is off the kitchen. This is where we keep dog bowls, dog towels, etc. There are a washer, dryer, ironing board (wall-mount) and vacuum, etc, in here.
There is a 2 car garage below with a coded door which provides convenient access to the outdoors.

Thanks for the nice review. We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this exceptional property. We felt we had walked into the pages of Architectural Digest! The house was so beautiful, and so well appointed - the perfect place for our small family gathering. The hosts responded quickly to the few questions that we had, and the whole experience was wonderful.

Thank you so much for your nice comments. I’m so happy you had a good stay!
Kathy was a great host, communicative, and helpful. We had a somewhat unconventional request during our stay and she was accommodating and clear about rules, boundaries, and all relevant information. As far as the property goes, it's beautifully situated, the views are remarkable, and the home is welcoming, and comfortable.

Thanks so much for the nice review! We are so happy you had a good stay!
This is a beautiful house. It is located right near the golf course and is a walk to town/campus. The house is immaculate- equipped with anything you need and is incredibly spacious. The host was terrific- easy to communicate with and although we did not bring dogs, it does allow them. We will definitely hope to stay there again on our next trip to Williamstown!
Excellent house. Privacy for five adults . Two couples one single. All features new and first rate.- sheets, towels, kitchen equipment etc. unique design by architect.
We had a wonderful four night stay at this home in Williamstown. Kathy, the owner, was great and easy to reach. The home was thoughtfully and thoroughly appointed, comfortably accommodating our extended family of ten. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the views of the Berkshires were breathtaking. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and we would highly recommend this lovely property.

Hi David,
Thanks so much for the nice comments about the house. It was a pleasure to have you and your family! We would love to have you return in the future!
This is a beautiful home. It offers large and inviting spaces for groups and privacy given the design of the bedrooms and loft - with ample space for office work. The views are spectacular. The home is a wonderful re-imagining of a mid-century modern aesthetic. It is well-maintained and equipped. It is close to the art museums and many options for hiking.Highly recommended
