MINIMALIST MASTERPIECE: A LUXURIOUS MODERNIST BARN Designed with architectural rigor and attention to detail by New York art dealers, this loft-like home is exquisite in every respect. Set on almost 11acres by the Schenob Brook and Nature Conservancy lands, the impeccable house has the profile of a modernist barn with vertical cedar siding and a standing seam metal roof. The centrally air-conditioned interior is bright, gracious and well thought-out with sleek poured cement floors that conceal a radiant heating system. The double-height living room with wood-burning fireplace has a wall of oversize industrial-style glass doors overlooking a north-facing meadow so it is bathed in even light all day long. The cook's kitchen has flamed granite countertops, a Blue Star range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, built-in Miele coffee/espresso maker, and a huge walk-in pantry with Metro shelving. An interior window divides the kitchen from the dining room. The first floor media room has a window seat overlooking the wildflower fields, and the powder room features a whimsical antique train car sink. The staircase to the second floor and upper level hallways are made of steel while chic subway grating and illuminated niches define the second level gallery. A 25-foot-long skylight allows light to flow through the grating, giving the house the feeling of an important contemporary art gallery (installation). The upstairs has a guest room/library with a Murphy bed, and a full bath that connects it to an adjoining sitting room that could be a third bedroom for overflow guests. A mezzanine office with cable-Internet and stunning views functions as a bridge to the master suite, which has two walk-in closets with meticulously designed storage units, as well as a private staircase to the main level. The master bath has a Victoria + Albert limestone soaking tub and a separate shower. Every light fixture and piece of hardware in the house was carefully chosen to create an elegantly understated ambience. Located on a picturesque country road halfway between Great Barrington, MA, and Salisbury, CT, the house has a beautiful stone terrace and established beds for growing herbs and vegetables. Restrained, refined and luxurious, it is one of the most sophisticated houses in the Berkshires.
