Built in 1903, this updated and yet stunning example of Victorian craftsmanship is a perfect place for family and friends looking to find an easy getaway in the Berkshires. The interior is sunny, bright and modern with charming Victorian details throughout.

The house is well appointed on the ground floor level with a large living room, music parlor including a grand piano and large assortment of art and design books, large eat-in kitchen, separate dining room area with large farm table and French café chairs with seating for 8, ½ bath, and large pantry/laundry room with side by side front loading washer and dryer. The living room and parlor comfortably seats 10 guests.

There are inviting touches throughout the house such as: lovely artwork, books, games, puzzles and toys to entertain both children and adults! The kitchen is well equipped with high-end stainless appliances and All-Clad and Le Creuset cookware. All tools needed for baking are available including a Kitchen-aid stand mixer. Kitchen includes a large assortment of high-end small appliances including microwave, food processor, blender, coffee maker and 4-slot toaster.

The second floor has 2 bedrooms: the primary suite with a king bed and full bathroom with tub/shower combination, en suite. The second large bedroom has a queen bed and access to the 2nd floor porch. There is a second full bathroom on this floor with a walk in shower.

The third floor is a delightful converted loft-like attic space with two rooms. One bedroom has 4 twin beds: 2 extra long singles and the third is a twin trundle, which can be made up as a twin, two twins or a king - perfect for a group sleepover or family! The other room, best for children, has one extra-long twin and small trundle bed. All three floors have central air-conditioning. The extra-long twins have organic rubber mattresses. Due to their generous length and quality, these mattresses are very comfortable for adults as well as children.

Outside you have a delightful front sitting porch and lovely cottage gardens with pathways leading to the front walk and side parking area. The back sun deck is private, with outdoor seating and a grill for dining al fresco. There is also a cozy screen tea porch on the side of the house, accessed through the family room. The yard is fenced with a delightful playhouse!

Located in the sought after neighborhood called “The Hill”, this home is an easy 5-minute walk to the center of downtown Great Barrington for a meal, shopping, shows, cinema, galleries and much more. This home is also an easy walk (or 3 minute drive) to Lake Mansfield Park for swimming. (There is a sandy beach, children's playground equipment and a lifeguard on duty!) You can enjoy picnicking and having fun on the climber & swing sets. No motorboats allowed but canoes/kayaks are available for rent in town or bring your own! A new renovation to be completed by July 4, 2024 will make it an even better destination.
