Incredible opportunity in Peru! Set on over 10 private and quiet acres of lawn and wooded areas with walking trails throughout, peek-a-boo and seasonal views of hills, mountains and water and 800' feet of frontage on spring fed Garnet Lake, this light-filled, airy home is available for the first time by the original owners. Tucked away in a private yet central park like location, this property, and its surroundings, are quintessential Berkshires. Extending over three very spacious levels for a total of over 4000 square feet of quality living space (includes walk out lower level), this well designed 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home is the perfect blend of master craftsmanship, smart design and rich styling. The main level offers an inviting living room with built-in entertainment center, family room with skylights and wood stove, a chef's dream kitchen with 6 burner Viking cooktop, breakfast bar and stainless appliances, a breakfast room with access to a side deck offering lake views and a sun filled, south facing dining room, also with skylights, that allows for broad views of your rear lawn and tree house! Upstairs you'll find a spacious loft which could easily double as a home office, primary bedroom with cathedral ceilings, skylights, french doors leading to a private exterior balcony with views of the property and an en-suite with jet tub and separate shower stall. Two additional bedrooms and a tiled bath can also be found on this level. A very large game room with a wood stove can be found on the walkout lower level with two additional big bedrooms and both the laundry and utility rooms. The amenity list is too long to list here but an attached, heated two car garage, beautiful wrap around covered porch, patio, generator and photovoltaic solar panels (owned) complete this magical property. This meticulously maintained property really does have it all. Your chance to enjoy the natural beauty, culture, cuisine, and adventure of the Berkshires starts right here!
