AN EXCEPTIONAL LENOX VILLAGE HOME
This original 1937 Cape has been transformed through an extraordinary, multi-year renovation into a home of exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and comfort.
Completed in phases between 2013 and 2025, the residence was rebuilt from the studs, thoughtfully expanded to nearly double its original footprint, and designed to balance the home's historic charm with a sophisticated modern living experience. Today it offers approximately 3,740 square feet of beautifully finished living space across three levels, including more than 2,500 square feet above grade and an additional 1,200-square-foot finished lower level.
Every detail reflects an uncompromising commitment to quality. All systems have been replaced, including plumbing - with copper piping; forced air mechanical - with 80,000 BTU high-efficiency furnace; and electrical - with commercial grade LED lighting scheme, new wiring and new 200-amp service. The wood frame structure has been rebuilt from its original foundation and stud walls, with steel posts and footings added to the original basement, original stairs rebuilt, and all original floor and roof joists stiffened and strapped.
A combination of open and closed spray foam and cellular insulation with new vapor barrier and sheathing have been installed on all exterior walls and roof assemblies. Cementitious siding, Azek trim and Pella Lifestyle series wood windows and doors have been installed on entire exterior envelope. As part of renovations, new asphalt roof over ice and water shield, copper flashing, screened gutters and skylights have also been installed. Interior walls are fully insulated for acoustic separation. Central air conditioning, central vacuum, and a whole-house water softening system complete the upgrades. The result is a home that lives with the ease and efficiency of new construction while retaining the warmth and authenticity of its original design.
The main level is programmed for both relaxed daily living and effortless entertaining. A comfortable, modern kitchen anchors the home, complemented by a front room with wood-burning fireplace (repointed and sealed with new chimney cap in 2021). Original heart pine floors flow from the original portion of the home to salvaged wood flooring in the addition. There is a first-floor laundry, easy rear access to the basement woodshop, and gracious living spaces that open through French doors to a wraparound veranda and deck on the first floor.
The home offers three bedrooms and four full baths, including two upper-level bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite bath. The finished lower level provides flexibility with a private guest suite, full bath, office, den, and dedicated woodworking shop--ideal for guests, creative pursuits, remote work, or multigenerational living.
Designed to embrace its natural surroundings, perennial gardens, established apple and pear trees, Goshen stone terraces and steps, and a fire pit gathering area create a private, park-like setting that invites year-round enjoyment.
Recognized for its design and craftsmanship, the completed renovation was featured in Berkshire Magazine.
Just down the sidewalk from shops, restaurants, galleries, and vibrant cultural life of downtown Lenox, and only minutes from Tanglewood, Shakespeare & Company, The Mount, Canyon Ranch, and the Berkshires' renowned network of hiking trails and preserved open space, this is an uncommon opportunity to own a home where enduring character, thoughtful design, and an exceptional location come together with remarkable ease.
