Set atop a gentle hill along a quiet, winding county road, this charming New England saltbox home offers a rare blend of timeless elegance and modern comfort. Built in 1995 by a skilled contractor as a spec project, the home was thoughtfully customized to suit a relaxed yet refined lifestyle. With two spacious bedrooms, a cozy den that doubles as a convenient ground-floor guest bedroom, and three full bathrooms, the home strikes the perfect balance between form and function.From the moment you step inside, you'll be welcomed by a warm and inviting ambiance. The traditional dining room flows seamlessly into the living room, creating a cohesive space for intimate dinners or casual gatherings. An expansive great room offers the ideal setting for entertaining or enjoying quiet evenings by the fire, while abundant storage throughout ensures everything has its place. In 2005, a beautifully integrated addition elevated the home's livability with a bright, airy family room, a separate ground-floor space that would be perfect for a home gym or reading nook, and on the second floor an inspiring artist's or craft studio that invites creativity to flourish. This thoughtfully designed expansion brings in even more light and dimension, making the home feel open and connected to its stunning natural surroundings.Step outside onto the mahogany deck and take in the tranquil views of your private pond, an ideal backdrop for morning coffee, alfresco dinners, or stargazing from the comfort of your hot tub. The landscape is a peaceful blend of open meadows and lush woods, where deer, birds, and other wildlife are regular visitors.Throughout the home, large double-hung windows invite in natural light, creating an uplifting environment year-round. Whether you're curling up with a book, hosting friends, or simply soaking in the serenity, every space feels like a retreat. Enjoy the best of both worlds: total privacy with easy access to the charm and culture of the Berkshires. Just minutes from New Lebanon, West Stockbridge, Chatham, Williamstown, Pittsfield, and Lenox, and an easy drive to Albany (40 mins.), NYC (2.5 hrs.), and Boston (3 hrs.), this is country living without compromise.This is more than a home; it's a lifestyle, where peace, creativity, and convenience come together in perfect harmony.
