Description
NEW TO THE MARKET!
Why not live your life - and work - from the beautiful Berkshires?
In a Nutshell
Walking distance to the New England village of Lenox MA sits a wonderful property on the grounds of a once-Gilded-Age estate --- The Bishop Estate --- in a marvelous community of homes with 88 acres of private walking trails. This open plan, rustic-modern country house has 4 bedrooms/4bathrooms, plus two large work-from-home studio/offices, each with its' own separate entry.
The Grounds
2.68 acres of landscaped tranquility offers privacy, gardens, and vegetables growing in raised boxes. Throughout the historic estate wind private community-shared walking paths through hills, fields and specimen trees in a historic landscape originally designed by a nationally treasured 19th century landscape architect. Surrounding the dwelling are stone walkways and mature specimen trees.
The House
Professionally designed & renovated with many bespoke custom details, this house has handsome detailing throughout using quality materials. Built on a gently sloping lot, the interiors were created with a sense of place: large 2 over 2 architect-series dark stained wood windows; vaulted ceilings with painted or whitewashed shiplap; coffee-bean stained hardwood floors; and a custom fitted stair railing that connects four half-levels of living space - each separated by a few steps.
Foyer Level - Through the front door is the "foyer-mudroom", a no-nonsense New England working entry: wall to wall cocoa mat is installed at the double doors to catch the weather, an extra-wide coat closet with built-in shelves, double coat hooks surround the four walls to catch all the hats & jackets. A practical but pretty foyer to welcome you into a super functional home. Access to a 500+/- sq ft studio office space through a door off the foyer keeps work completely separate from the family living spaces (you can't hear them).
Main Level - a few steps up to an open plan public space which includes the kitchen, dining, and living rooms. In the living room, a raised hearth masonry fireplace glows - as does the artwork, with ample wall-wash lighting. Nature beckons through four enormous windows looking into the trees, disolving the outdoor-indoor boundry for all four seasons. A peaceful screen porch off the dining area overlooks a weeping cherry tree and the gardens beyond from above, and lives like a “grown-up’s tree house”. The kitchen was recently gut renovated and includes a gas-electric convection Bosch range, Bosch convection-microwave, Bosch dishwasher and a generous Liebherr refrigerator. Large windows overlooking the garden connect the kitchen to a bucoclic landscape and beautiful sunlight. There's more than ample storage for dishes, food and small appliances in the painted cabinets; the light quartz-stone countertops provide enough work area for families who cook together.
There are two bedroom on the main floor, including the owners ensuite and bedroom 2; a second hall bath and broom closet .
Studio Level - half a flight up from the living room - enter the top floor studio level: a 768 sq ft vaulted ceiling studio space with huge windows and it's own exterior entry deck. Designed by & for a painter, the studio level includes 4 large storage closets, cork floors (so quiet!), a clean up area with mini-fridge/open shelving/vintage sink; and a full bathroom with a shower tiled in periwinkle blue penny rounds ... make this space perfect for creative living, working from home or visiting family. Or all three!
Garden Level - The garden level is half a floor down from the foyer and includes two bedrooms (a king and a queen) and a shared hall bath; a large family room with wood burning masonry fireplace and glass patio doors onto a stone terrace, the laundry room with central vac, and mechanical/shop room complete the garden level.
