1750 Saltbox that's Part of Stockbridge History
Local lore suggests that Reverend Jonathan Edwards and Chief Konkapot of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community may have met in this home’s front parlor. Also, there's a secret garden.
This one goes way back to before the United States was founded: a 1750 saltbox at 18 Goodrich Street in Stockbridge. It sits on 4.18 acres south of the village, and it has an incredible secret garden behind it, with a trail lined with boxwood bushes, intricate stone patio, and adorable little picket fence.
Inside, there are wide-plank floors, five original brick fireplaces with patina from hundreds of years of use, charming checkered floors painted to match the period, and interesting built-ins added at different periods post construction. The house is 2,548 square feet, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Local lore suggests that Reverend Jonathan Edwards and Chief Konkapot of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community may have met in this home’s front parlor. It’s part of the history of what became the town of Stockbridge, an area that it’s worth remembering was for a long time before uncolonized and populated.
