Cool as a Cucumber in Egremont
Modern beyond modern, built in 2020 to comply with eco-friendly passive house standards.
53 Whites Hill Road is a dreamy 5,000-square-foot house on 18 acres in Egremont, just completed in 2020. It’s modern beyond modern, with sharp angles, giant windows that frame the woods and pasture outside, floating ash wood staircases with vertical steel rods, and it complies with passive house standards, a rigorous outline for eco-friendly homes.
With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, a three-sided wood-burning fireplace, and an aperture skylight create a light-filled open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area. Two private sleeping wings include a primary suite with a private balcony, while the walk-out lower level features a media room, gym, sauna, fourth bedroom, full bath, and access to the in-ground pool and spa.
The property includes a pool and hot tub, a smart home security system, multiple meadows, pollinator gardens, a walking path, and a geothermal five-zone HVAC system. It’s received multiple awards for its design and sustainability, including the 2024 American Architecture Award and a nod from Architectural Record.
53 Whites Hill Road is listed for $6,250,000 by Claudia Crane at Compass Massachusetts, LLC.
