Behind the scenes, our team calls this dreamy house in the Berkshires “The Fairy Tale House,” and it’s easy to see why. You first glimpse the roof lines of the third floor over a field of goldenrods and wildflowers as you ascend the long, winding drive that leads you up to the house. Perched on a hillside with views of the mountains, its raw edge siding is a defining characteristic and the home’s unique facade makes it look more like a painting than a picture. The 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home on 5 acres is bounded by gardens, both wild and groomed, trained grape vines, and enormous hydrangea bushes. Inside, dark wood beams frame the rustic Great Room, and a stone hearth at the center anchors the large two-story space with a cathedral ceiling: surrounded by charming, antique windows and doors. A bedroom is perched above with access to a third-floor office. On the north end, you’ll find a spacious dining room with two sets of French doors led outside, a newly remodeled kitchen with a central island and unlacquered brass hardware, plenty of room to congregate and cook, and a sunroom painted the perfect shade of pink, which appears to be a later addition. Above, two more bedrooms, each sweet in size and bathed in natural light. The home is a 7-minute drive to our favorite Berkshire outpost, The Southfield Store, and 20 minutes to Guidos and Great. Barrington. Local outdoor activities include padding in Lake Garfield with town access, hiking in Beartown State Forest, and downhill skiing at Butternut.
