    Original architectural detailsCompletely self-contained one-bedroom apartmentGrand great hallTwo single-car garagesSeparate catering kitchenTwo one car garagesProfessional-grade culinary facilities
    Nestled on 7.79 private mountaintop acres, this distinguished 1916 Italianate Berkshire Cottage sparkles with original architectural details, beautiful fireplaces throughout, and a stunning reflection pool surrounded by mature gardens. Four spacious bedrooms include a luxurious primary suite with sitting room, while the grand great hall creates perfect spaces for both intimate gatherings and gracious entertaining. The lower level features an elegant one-bedroom guest apartment plus a separate catering kitchen, utility rooms and two one car garages, while the main house enjoys lovely terraces facing south, east and west. Surrounded by 200 protected acres near world-class Tanglewood - your own slice of paradise where old-world charm meets mountain-top serenity! In 1916, renowned patron of the arts Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge commissioned this magnificent 4-bedroom mountain house atop South Mountain in Pittsfield as a gift for her son Albert. This stunning stucco Italianate Berkshire cottage sits gracefully on 7.79 acres of pristine woodland, offering both grandeur and intimate charm. The heart of the home features a dramatic great hall with soaring spiral stairs that create an impressive architectural centerpiece. Multiple fireplaces throughout provide warmth and ambiance, while the library boasts a wet bar perfect for entertaining. A dedicated game room offers space for leisure and recreation, complemented by a thoughtfully designed guest wing that ensures privacy for visitors. The lower level houses a completely self-contained one-bedroom apartment, while a separate catering kitchen provides professional-grade culinary facilities. Two single-car garages offer practical storage alongside multiple utility and storage rooms that provide ample space for estate maintenance and organization. A lower level parking area provides additional vehicle accommodation beyond the garages. Above, a large attic provides generous additional storage space. The mature woodland gardens showcase spectacular rhododendrons and hydrangeas that bloom in seasonal splendor. A serene reflection pool anchored by carefully manicured boxwood gardens creates a peaceful focal point for contemplation and outdoor entertaining. The property enjoys a unique position adjacent to 200 protected acres managed by the South Mountain Concert Society, ensuring perpetual privacy and natural beauty. Following the Coolidge era, the estate became home to Willem Willike and his wife Sally, who cherished its artistic heritage. In 1992, the Miller family acquired this remarkable property, continuing its legacy as a treasured Berkshire retreat. This extraordinary estate represents more than a century of careful stewardship, combining Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge's vision for artistic patronage with the timeless appeal of Berkshire mountain living.
