The renovation of this 1930’s Cape Cod by a master craftsman and his designer wife into the stunning modern-day Contemporary it is today, while preserving some of the original highlights, is nothing short of a design miracle. The immense Great Room with the 60-foot wall of glass overlooking the terraced stone wall that leads to a stream and pine forest is the focal point of this special home. The exquisite chef’s kitchen with 3 islands, marble counters, high end appliances with both a coffee and wine center is in full sight of the floor to ceiling fireplace, and numerous seating arrangements. From the built-in sound system, to the central vac, full house generator, hydrotherapy massage tub in the primary suite, dual head shower and four fireplaces, or the waterfall in the dining room, every inch of the house is a pleasant surprise and we invite you to call and make an appointment to view this special property in its most convenient location on the outskirts of the wonderful Village of West Stockbridge.
