Description
This 3-4 bedroom spacious cottage is situated on a tidy parcel of land in the coveted Yale Hill neighborhood of Stockbridge. This unique antique property has been recently updated with careful intention to maintain the original character and structure of the house, while bringing it up to speed for year round living in the 21st century. The house was designed at the turn of the century by the prominent Berkshire architect Joseph McArthur Vance as a seasonal cottage for La Chaumiere, the abutting property up the hill. Wherever you turn there is an element of surprise: a double zinc kitchen sink repurposed from an historic property in Lenox, or original floor boards mixed with tile, the attention to detail is everywhere.

The upstairs, accessed by front and back staircases, features the primary bedroom with a dramatic bead board cathedral ceiling, ensuite bath including a marbled shower area and clawfoot tub. In addition, two bedrooms with sunny distant mountain views, a bathroom with an original claw foot tub, and a laundry room with Miele washer and dryer.
