MODERN LIFE IN AN ELEGANT COUNTRY HOUSE
Renowned for its 19th century Cottages, the Berkshires (known as the inland Newport) boasts numerous wonderful homes of the era. It's a rare thing indeed when one has been beautifully restored for modern life and enjoyment; rarer yet that it exists on its original 40+ acres with fantastic views, in the very heart of Lenox, MA.
The offering, representing the original configuration, includes 101 and 107 Yokun Ave. as well as mid-century modern, 95 Yokun Ave.
Completed in 1929, the design of the main house reflects the English Craftsmen homes of the early 1900's which focused on human-scaled grandeur.
Also for sale as Commercial Property (#241178) That gorgeous balance survives today offering decidedly ample gathering spaces, rich in detail, yet always offering a scale suitable for guests, families and friends - small gatherings and large.
The truly gracious main floor, with nearly all rooms facing south comprises the living room, library, dining room, conservatory and kitchens.
Design of the 2nd floor is as modern today as it was when constructed. The central wing offers five bedroom suites - each with fireplace and bathroom. Another two bedrooms and a shared bath are found in the west wing.
The north wing offers four additional bedrooms and a massage room on a smaller scale with a shared bathroom. An ideal wing for additional guests, children, staff or home offices.
Several large and light spaces make up the third floor - currently space for games and exercise, work or study (with a full bath).
The quiet elegance of the terraces and gardens, create a backdrop for many forms of pleasure and gathering. The views to the south and west, from an in-town property are just breathtaking. All within a few minutes to the center where you'll find delightful shops and restaurants. Tanglewood, summer home of the Boston Symphony as well as many of the world-class cultural venues, museums, and preserved lands for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and more.
The full and original acreage includes a cool 3BR | 2BA, mid-century modern home and the parcel containing the original and expanded carriage barn structure (107 Yokun Ave.)
