256 Park St N, Great Barrington, MA 01230

Rare and unique in the Berkshires, this beautiful antique stone house was built in 1771 by the Van Deusens, a prominent Dutch family, who owned a large tract of farmland in Great Barrington and were one of few Dutch families to move east from the Hudson River Valley to settle in Berkshire County. In the early 21st century, the home was intelligently expanded and renovated to provide modern comfort and amenities. The historic portion of the home comprises a large great room with two fireplaces and three original built-in corner cupboards on the first floor and two bedrooms and a sitting area on the second. Deep window sills, bold beams, and wide-board floors imbue these spaces with character and charm. Complementing the original structure, the addition includes a lovely master suite, den/guest room with bath, sunroom, and stunning kitchen with a stone wall, cathedral ceiling, expansive window, and exposed wooden beams. This home is privately situated in thriving Great Barrington, on 10+ lovely acres of lawns and gardens, mature trees, adjacent to Monument Mountain conservation land, convenient to restaurants, shopping, cultural venues.
