6 Bryan Rd, West Stockbridge, MA 01266 (MLS# 245993)

Supplements: As you enter the long, tree-lined drive, you'll arrive in a private haven surrounding this charming 19th century 1,500 sq ft updated home rich with character. Step through a cheery screened-in front porch and into a cozy living room with exposed wood ceiling planks dating to the original 1875 construction and massive picture windows on both sides, immediately bringing the outdoor surroundings into view. A wide central foyer connects the living room to a custom eat-in kitchen, featuring custom-built cabinets, a copper farmhouse sink, tin ceiling, and an open bar. Panoramic large kitchen windows provide sweeping north and west-facing views that perfectly frame every beautiful sunset and the pond's daily visitors. The seller's renovations carefully balanced updated comforts with original charm. Examples include exposed post & beam corners and salvaged hardwood floors. The first floor renovated main bath is cleverly divided into two sections - one with a pristine, antique oversized porcelain claw foot bathtub next to a large, low-hung window providing amazing views as you soak. The other features a large walk-in shower with overhead rain and handheld shower heads. Upstairs, one finds three cozy bedrooms and a sweet half bath. As the only home on Bryan Rd (a town road that is plowed and maintained by West Stockbridge), this property is a very rare family compound opportunity. The 5.62 acre tax lot on the east side of the property could be the site of an additional dwelling, a new business, or remain as-is to preserve the property's uniquely private environment. Low taxes; protected scenic surroundings; Kohler 14KW standby power generator; and PetPlaygrounds anti-dig/anti-climb fence outside of a heated porch with Doggie Door.
