Extraordinary and expansive estate property near the top of the hill on prestigious and desirable Bulkley Street. Consisting of three separate parcels over 11+ acres, this offering provides a rare opportunity to acquire an expanse of gorgeous acreage within minutes of Williamstown center, Williams College, the Clark Art Institute, the new Williams College Museum of Art, and close by the 2600 acres ecological reserve, Hopkins Memorial Forest. The four bedroom, three and one half bath main house, sitting atop the hill, has been beautifully updated while maintaining its gracious character and features an array of public spaces both intimate and open, with an especially appealing four season sunporch overlooking the lovely gardens, graceful and sweeping grounds, and the distant ridgeline. Behind is a separate carriage house with spacious apartment above, complete with kitchenette and exceptional great room and bedroom, both with beamed cathedral ceilings, and an exercise room below. Situated a bit down the hill, a four bedroom, three bath, early twentieth century residence awaits renovation or whatever your imagination conjures. This lower 6 acre parcel has enough frontage and acreage for two homes. All together, this stunning property, with a wealth of privacy and serenity, represents a singular opportunity to create a family compound in the heart of a gloriously scenic and culturally rich Berkshires college town.
