5 Seekonk Cross Rd, Great Barrington, MA 01230 listing details

Unspoiled mountain views are the focal point of this wonderful, privately situated, architect-designed contemporary home, composed of glass, wood and rugged hewn stone. High-end finishes and intelligent design combine to convey a feeling of high quality throughout the home. Glass walls in the great room, living room and dining room afford sweeping views across a private field to the mountains beyond, gorgeous in every season. The floor-plan is expansive and flows well for entertaining, yet also provides intimate gathering spots. The entrance to the property is through a curved drive l...andscaped to provide complete privacy. Here, stone walls and a curved bow window establish two of the home’s visual themes, while a generous columned porch mediates between it and the drive. From the porch, the front door opens to an impressive stone-walled entry foyer, where the glimpse of a view draws one into a spacious, light-filled great room comprising a kitchen, dining areas and a seating area with wood stove. Opposite the great room are a living room with fireplace, dining room with fireplace, office and guest suite. On the second floor, the three bedrooms include a terrific master suite with balcony and mountain views. On the lower level are an indoor lap pool usable as a hot tub, a workroom, and space for expansion. A fabulous stone terrace with pergola rims the home outside the great room, living room and dining rooms. From the terrace, steps lead to a heated in-ground pool, field and orchard, where a path leads through a small, sun-dappled woods and a lovely open field to the Alford Brook, a great spot for fishing and wading. As for location, it could not be better: on one of the town’s most desirable roads, a very private country setting minutes from all of the cultural, culinary and outdoor amenities of Great Barrington and south Berkshire County, about 2.5 hours drive from Manhattan, and 40 minutes to New York-bound trains in Wassaic and Hudson.
