Description

Steeped in history and elegance, the Henry Billings Brown House (c.1815) offered at $1,260,000, is a rare Berkshire estate. This three-unit residence on the historic registry is a masterful blend of preserved history and refined updates for modern living. Anchoring its timeliness character are wide-plank floors, stately brick hearths, and marble sourced from the same quarries as the U.S. Capitol. Once a duplex, it became legally recognized in 2025 as three-unit estate with potential to expand. Nestled 100 feet from the Housatonic River and fronting Bear Mountain trails, yet only minutes from Lenox, Stockbridge, and Tanglewood, this property offers both serenity and cultural vibrancy. Ideal for investors, retreat hosts, or homeowners seeking income-producing property. A legacy home, lovingly preserved and ready for its next steward.
