Great Barrington,
Berkshire County, Massachusetts
Just past and on the other side of
Ski Butternut, and only a few minutes drive from downtown Great
Barrington, this extraordinary contemporary home is set with the mountain
as it’s backdrop.



Cross the running stream and park in
the oversized two car garage. Through a breezeway to the attached two-car
garage and a sheltered, private brick patio surrounded by boulders,
you enter the home through a convenient mud room/foyer. Immediately you
realize this home is no ordinary home as the double height hallway beckons
for your art to be displayed and the gleaming raw steel bannister arches
upward.


The open plan main floor is both
inspiring and comfortable. The first doorway brings you into a large
kitchen and dining room. Blonde and beautiful maple butcher block counters
sing out to the cook in the family. There are two sinks, professional-grade
stainless steel appliances including a 6 burner with griddle FiveStar
cooktop, double ovens, and italian cabinets. There is a double-sided
wood-burning fireplace open to both the dining room and the living room.
A breakfast nook adjacent to the kitchen has a sunny deck perfect for
morning coffee or afternoon cocktails.





Large windows throughout the home let the abundant
natural light pour in. A family room, which opens to the brick
courtyard, and a guest bath finish off the main floor perfectly. Upstairs
there is a large bedroom with bath ensuite, and the gorgeous, enormous
master suite. The sleeping area has huge windows and a cathedral ceiling,
both dressing and office areas, and the large walk-through closet leads to
the tumbled-marble master bath - with a jet tub, over-sized walk-in shower
and fixtures of the highest quality. Large windows let you luxuriate in the
spa tub while feeling as if you are outdoors.




Down the wide circular stairs off the living room
you arrive at a sun-drenched office area. Hand-crfated cherry Shoji
sliding doors open to the large 3rd bedroom, which has a very large closet.
The 4th bedroom is equally large with enough room for a sititng area.
Both bedrooms share a full bath on the lower level. There is an immensely
practical laundry room, storage and utility rooms.






An extraordinary home perfectly located, yet a world
away.
