What is the most compelling thing about this property?

This timeless antique home, known as General Williams House, has been fully updated and professionally decorated, AND it is being sold fully furnished…and, it has a wonderful in-ground pool!

For whom is this house perfect?

This home is perfect for anyone who seeks a terrific Town of Stockbridge compound that can easily accommodate family and friends in its six en suite bedrooms, several with fireplaces.  Further, if you plan to entertain a larger group, there is a converted ice house where even more friends can join in the fun.

What is the most fun thing to do within five miles of this property?

This property is located in Stockbridge, the home of the Norman Rockwell Museum, The Red Lion Inn, several good restaurants, the Chesterwood Estate, and is an easy bike ride to Lenox, home of Tanglewood, numerous very good restaurants, along with lots of shops and art galleries, If you are a golfer, there are several golf courses nearby for a spectacular 18-hole experience.

If this house could talk, what secrets would it tell you about its history?

In the realm of possible secrets, this house, built in1795, can probably compete with the intrigues that went on at Edith Warton’s estate nearby.  However, since none of us was around in those days, we have to focus on more recent secrets: One secret would be the identity of the contractor who updated this house and managed to keep the wonderful continuity between yesterday and today. Another secret would be the history of the “ice house”—how it was used in past centuries vs. how it can be used today as a welcoming venue for large gatherings and as an easy place to relax after a nice swim in the nearby pool. And one more secret: This property must be seen to be appreciated.  Call today for a showing of this one-of-a-kind gem!
