Description
Spectacular landscaping surrounds the gracious main home of this historic property in Lenox. With a sympathetic melding of the old and the new, the original house was built in the 1830's and added to throughout the years. Today it is a large and comfortable home for gathering and entertaining family and friends or just escaping the stress of today's world. Six bedrooms, 5.5 baths. Brick paths meander through lovely gardens , to the artfully converted barn/guest house and the 20'x 40'pool/hot tub area - far enough from the main house for privacy but close enough for conviviality. Highlighted by a fabulous cone-shaped window the 'barn' has large living spaces, a kitchen, bar, three bedrooms, 2.5 baths. A magnificent property.
