Nestled in the picturesque village of Williamsville, West Stockbridge, this 1850s antique colonial offers an exceptional blend of history, craftsmanship, and modern comfort. Set on over 400 feet of pristine Williams River frontage, with a 12 acre private island, the main house features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, wide plank wood floors, and two wood-burning fireplaces. A recently renovated farmhouse kitchen is in keeping with the style of the home. A gracious floor plan on the main level lends itself to gathering and entertaining, complete with a screened-in porch. The spacious primary suite includes a wraparound deck with serene river views, perfect for peaceful mornings. The fully renovated barn is a retreat for guests, providing privacy and convenience, complete with cathedral ceilings, a lofted bedroom, a full bath, a kitchenette and laundry.
With a vintage ice house, a two-car garage, mature landscaping, and newer mechanicals, including central A/C in both buildings and an upcoming full house water filtration system this property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Berkshire history. Just moments from the cultural and natural attractions of Berkshire County, this is a must-see for the discerning buyer. A unique and special offering that can't be missed!
An additional 4.3 acre abutting lot with river frontage is also available for 195k.
