House for sale, 3 Church Rd, Berkshire, Massachusetts, in Tyringham, United States

Tyringham is arguably the most beautiful place in the Berkshires. The majestic east-west valley has retained its historic character, with antique homes nestled among rolling farm fields and gently sloping hills. Just off Main Rd, on a quiet lane known as Church Road, sits the NorthRUP/ROP-Wilson House. Built in the late 1700s in the Georgian-Federal period, the home underwent a Greek Revival update in the 1830s, giving it a grander, yet timeless appeal. Having had few owners, the home has fortunately retained its original detail and character. Nestled in the middle of the valley, with views of the old school house and hillside cemetery, time seems to stand still here. Imagine the stories told around the grand fireplace, the family dinners, and the generations that have called this place home. A short stroll out the front door is wonderful Tyringham Cobble, miles of hiking trails and views. The first floor features a spacious eat-in kitchen that opens to a stone patio perfect for outdoor lounging and firefly spotting. Gather in the formal dining room for dinner with friends, below a vintage metal chandelier. A wide central hall with powder room separates the kitchen and dining areas from two additional living spaces. The Green Room offers stunning views of Church Rd, while the Yellow Room boasts a grand fireplace. Upstairs, one finds four more bedrooms - two with picturesque valley views - and a full bathroom. Pass through the Yellow Room to another grand room with a fireplace, an adjoining back room, and an upstairs area with two more rooms perfect for extra space during the summer or perhaps an artist studio. This home is truly for the antique lover - preserve the home's original charm or elevate it to new heights. The house is in good mechanical and structural condition. The rear of the home would require updated HVAC and electric to become four-season living space. Only 5 minutes to grocery shopping, 7-14 min to the great eating scenes in Lenox and Lee, and less than 20 min to downtown Great Barrington.
