520 State Rd #403, North Adams, MA 01247

Up here, it is all about light, height and the mountains. Set on the top floor of Greylock WORKS, Loft 403 is a 1,805 SF one-bedroom + study residence with soaring 16-foot ceilings, south-facing Berkshire mountain views and a private balcony above the historic mill campus. Conceived by celebrated architects LATENT, Greylock WORKS reflects an uncommon respect for the historic mill, its architecture and its Berkshire setting. Historic brick, restored wood floors, massive columns and the scale of the original building have been preserved and celebrated, while highly custom modern interventions bring clarity and timelessness to the old industrial structure. Nothing feels generic. Nothing feels dropped into an old building as an afterthought. In Loft 403, the architecture reaches its fullest expression. The main living space rises beneath 16-foot ceilings, with historic brick, exposed ductwork and weathered original mill columns giving the loft its extraordinary sense of scale. Yet for all that volume, it has warmth. Sun pours through the tall windows. The mountains become part of the room. Open the door to the balcony for coffee in the morning, a drink as the light changes, or simply to step outside and take in the view. At the center of the loft, a generous kitchen island creates an easy gathering place for cooking, talking and dinner with friends. Stainless appliances, gas cooktop, streamlined cabinetry and locally sourced schist countertops bring a clean modern counterpoint to the industrial architecture. The bedroom shares those wonderful southern views, while a separate skylit study offers something increasingly valuable: a beautiful room apart. Work there. Read there. Make it a studio or an occasional guest room. The primary bath pairs a sculptural soaking tub with one of the mill's original columns; a second half bath and in-unit laundry make everyday life considerably easier. Then there is everything beyond the loft itself: the Greylock WORKS fitness center, sauna, library, Sunset Lounge and rooftop deck, plus food, makers, wellness and events within the larger campus. MASS MoCA and downtown North Adams are minutes away, with Williams College, Williamstown and the mountains and trails of the northern Berkshires close by. A true top-floor Berkshire loft: significant architecture, extraordinary light, mountain views--and a remarkable place to make a life in the Berkshires.
