Modern Conversion of an 1865 Barn in Becket
The property’s 3,000 square feet of living space unfolds with soaring double-height ceilings, exposed timber framing, and expansive windows that bring the landscape inside.
History and contemporary character on 3.38 acres in the Berkshire hills. 161 Otis Road in Becket is a thoughtfully reimagined 1865 barn conversion that pairs original structural presence with open, light-filled spaces—offering a setting for relaxed country living just minutes from Jacob’s Pillow and nearby conserved woodlands.
Set behind mature plantings and lawn, the property’s 3,000 square feet of living space unfolds with soaring double-height ceilings, exposed timber framing, and expansive windows that bring the landscape inside. Four bedrooms and 2.5 baths are arranged with both everyday living and guest comfort in mind, while generous common areas invite flexible use.
An in-ground pool and new pool house offer summer-ready gathering spots, and an additional studio/barn provides an artist’s retreat, workshop space, or bonus room tailored to creative ambitions. Stone paths, mature landscaping, and open lawn create a pastoral backdrop that’s distinctly Berkshire but comfortably livable year-round.
161 Otis Road, Becket (MA) is listed for $599,000, offered by Carrie Lobovits Wright at William Pitt Sotheby’s.
