Public Remarks: Escape to Lake Pontoosuc Lakeview Living. This quality contemporary offers a stunning view through the tall pines overlooking the newly revamped Pontoosuc Park in Pittsfield, truly the heart of the Berkshires. Enjoy a spectacular north-facing view of the vast Lake Pontoosuc and the majesty of Mount Greylock. Set on 2+ acres of rolling lawns, this peaceful 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features soaring vaulted ceilings and an open living and dining area framed by a wall of windows with transoms, filling the space with natural light and fresh air and new high efficiency mini splits. A formal dining area flows seamlessly into the granite and stainless maple kitchen, offering ease and convenience for entertaining in comfortably cooled rooms if you'd rather. The first-floor primary suite offers ideal one-level easy living, complete with a walk-in closet and custom built-ins. A tucked-away half bath houses the laundry for added convenience. Upstairs, an exceptionally wide stairway leads to an open loft with balconies front and back, creating an ideal space for reading, music as an inviting den. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide privacy and comfort for guests or family and doubles as a home office. Meander outside to a dramatic vaulted, covered porch adorned with climbing honeysuckle vines and looking upon flowering trees and an intriguing, tranquil landscape. Enjoy nature at home with birds, bunnies, chipmunks, and deer on your private back lawn. A third garage on the back hill is perfect for your riding mower and gardening tools. Discover a variety of flowering shrubs, specimen trees, and hillside plantings in your own secret gardens, featured twice on the acclaimed Pittsfield's Secret Garden Tour. Centrally located near the cultural and artistic highlights of the Berkshires: Tanglewood to the south, The Clark to the north, lakeside dining at The Proprietor's Lodge and Theatre downtown with Berkshire Theatre Group and The famed Colonial Theatre. This home perfectly balances the beauty of the Berkshires, the excitement of lake living, the tranquility of a wooded retreat and surrounded by art and culture.
