Once the cherished country residence of acclaimed wildlife artist & tableware designer Lynn Chase, this gracious 4-bedroom manor dates back to 1850, and had a major update in 1998. Set on 5.96 acres of rolling pasture framed by stone walls, this charming estate is spacious but manageable, complete with a garage/horse barn, larger barn, fenced paddocks, and a small pond. Rich in character and period detail, this Greek Revival home boasts wood paneling, exposed beams, built-in cabinetry, and antique flooring. The 1st floor offers plenty of space for entertaining, with a formal entry, spacious receiving room, library, and parlor - each with working fireplaces. A 1998 addition introduced a bright open kitchen/dining area with French doors opening onto an elegant south-facing bluestone patio. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features a sunny juliet balcony, and an adjoining private study. Also on the 2nd floor are two guest bedrooms with two more full baths. The wonderful 3rd floor suite with exposed chestnut beams and a large arched window is a special refuge that guests will undoubtedly fight over. Equestrian or hobby farm potential. 14 Miles to Great Barrington, 6.5 North Canaan CT, 3 miles to the Southfield Store.
