Sandisfield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts

An Original 1792 Center Hall Colonial

An extraordinary original 2 ½ story Georgian Colonial sited on a hilltop. The home is museum-quality as she is virtually untouched in her 215 years of existence. The 5 bedroom, 3 bath colonial features 3 working fireplaces in the center chimney including the original massive kitchen fireplace and beehive oven, original stenciling in one of the two front parlors, original Colonial hardware, original 12 over 12 windows, 3 porches including a 2nd story sleeping porch, and wideboard old-growth pine floors.

The property, with over 100 acres, is ideal for country living with an extensive trail system, a swimming pond and swimming pool, a 2 acre pasture, ¾ of a mile of river frontage, and a cabin deep in the woods. Extensive gardens include a herb, rose, perennial, and vegetable garden. Extensive outbuildings include a workshop, gardening shed, the former farm office, and run-in sheds.

The home has a 9-windowed front, with a commanding pilastered, lintel and side-lighted front door. A funeral door to the south, and 2-story patio and porch to the rear, overlooking gardens, the pasture and mountains. Read in the original birthing room off the former kitchen, relax in front of the fire in the original parlor rooms with a commanding distant mountain over fields and pastures, on the sleeping porch fall asleep to only the lull of the sounds of nature on a summer night.

Remarkably few families have had stewardship of this property. This is a unique opportunity to own one of the first and great homes in Southern Berkshire County.
