This timber frame home stands out from the rest. It is located a short 7-minute drive from Pittsfield, giving it the peace and seclusion of country living while being near amenities. One of the most notable qualities of the home is its appearance. When you first turn into the circle driveway, you may notice the stone pathway leading up to the front door. Built in 2005, the dark timber against the white chinking is stunning and catches your eye as you pass by on the gravel road. The house stands three stories tall, and as you walk up the stone path, a 2-story front porch greets you. You will find five bedrooms and five bathrooms as you enter the home. The three wood-burning stone fireplaces in the basement, living room, and main bedroom, paired with the wooden interior, make this home feel like a cozy cottage. There is a three-season room off the kitchen, giving you a 180 view of the pond, easily the best place to drink your morning coffee. The two bedrooms on the 3rd level share a bathroom, while the two bedrooms on the 2nd floor and primary level have their bathrooms. The 3rd level bedrooms have vaulted ceilings with access to the attic storage. The home has a fully functioning security system with sensors throughout the house. In the basement, you will find a wet bar and a 5th full bath, a laundry/mechanical room, and a family room. You can walk out of the basement straight to the two-acre stocked pond. The pond is about 10-12 feet deep and home to crappie, catfish, bluegill, bass, and redear sunfish. The acreage consists of tillable and some timber on the back property line. To the east of the home are a few outbuildings and a barn. A 40x50 pole shed with a loft is the perfect place to store equipment. With so many rooms, the pond, and the land, this property has various uses. Two possibilities can be a grand residence or even a location for an outfitter. A walk around the property, and you will fall in love with its character and uniqueness. Call today to schedule your private tour!
