Grandeur and Great Wallpaper on the Hill in Great Barrington
A beautifully preserved antique aesthetic, plus your own attached greenhouse.
Walk to downtown Great Barrington, but live in relative privacy! This home at 82 West Avenue is a rare find, near Fairview Hospital in one of the town's nicest neighborhoods, full of historic homes. Lovingly cared for by the same family for more than 60 years, this 4,000-square-foot home retains exquisite original details like hardwood floors, high ceilings, a grand central staircase, and multiple fireplaces, all on 1.6 acres. Downstairs you'll find a classic dining room, oversized living room, sun-filled kitchen with butler’s pantry, and a charming three-season porch that opens to the grounds. You'll also find an attached greenhouse space, perfect for starting seeds or housing rare indoor plants.
Notably, this home is full of cool vintage wallpaper, with botanical motifs in the butler's pantry, ships and flowers in the bedrooms, and a tile-inspired square design in one of the bathrooms. It's rare to see this classic turn-of-the-century aesthetic in older homes that cross the $1 million mark, especially so well-preserved.
This property was recently listed after being cared for by the same family for more than 60 years. It also includes a detached three-car garage and a full basement with expansion potential. The house is situated so you can enjoy hilltop views while being minutes from downtown shopping, dining, and cultural destinations like the Mahaiwe.
82 West Avenue is listed for $1,595,000 by Claire Naylor Pollart of Lance Vermeulen Real Estate.
