Restored Colonial Homestead

Sheffield, Massachusetts

Homestead: the house, land, and outbuildings where a family makes its home

 


This expansive and elegant homestead dating from 1830 has been restored to its former Greek Revival splendor
and renovated to add the necessities of 21st century life.

The home can be entered through a mud room with antique heart pine wainscoting and built-in storage that includes cubbies for charging ipods and cell phones.

Separate doors from the front porch also provide entry into the formal living room with nearly floor to ceiling antique glass windows or into the kitchen. 

The large kitchen - family room has been relocated to the core of the home. It combines Italian tile and 20" pine flooring, offers oak and cherry millwork, a stainless steel Bertazzoni range, state-of-the-art appliances and a Danze motion sensor faucet.  A black slate half bath serves a dual purpose as a first floor laundry room.

The former kitchen boasts the original wood-burning fireplace and beehive oven. This room can serve as a library, formal dining room, or an additional sitting room for the master suite.

The library's mahogany French doors open onto a private deck and stone-walled cottage garden.

The luxurious master bedroom suite completes the first floor. A cathedral ceiling exposing the original massive chestnut timber posts and beams dominates the master bathroom while framing the view of pasture and woods. A large dressing room adjoins the new cherry trimmed master bathroom with its oversize shower and a soaking tub, toilet, and washbasin from a line designed by Phillipe Starck for Duravit.


Upstairs, are three/four more bedrooms for family and friends as well as a full bath. A new media room in the former barn hayloft easily doubles as office, playroom, or family area. There is also access to a full height attic.

 A slate roofed post and beam barn - an ideal home for cars or horses or a guest house as sufficient frontage and acreage exists for a second home on the land, and a shed  - perfect for a pool house – complete the homestead.

Set in a quiet enclave of similarly restored homes, this homestead offers easy access to village necessities and Berkshire amenities.
