Description
A Former Gardener's Cottage Reimagined Once the Gardener's Cottage for the historic Bishop Estate, this enchanting Lenox property blends storybook charm, thoughtful updates, and timeless craftsmanship. Mature Ginkgo and Beech trees, wildflowers, and perennials frame the approach, while a gazebo and saltwater pool anchor the garden landscape, creating a private retreat within walking distance of Lenox. Inside, the home reveals a careful balance of character and comfort. The front hall is highlighted by a unique, flowing staircase railing — a design flourish that sets a warm and memorable tone the moment you enter. From there, a gracious living room with fireplace, sunlit solarium, and cozy den for movies or reading provide inviting spaces for gathering. The dining room carries historic warmth, while the renovated kitchen (2020) combines style and function with custom cherry cabinetry, soapstone counters, a designer tile backsplash, and a professional Bertazzoni range with pot filler. Upstairs, recent renovations are remarkable. A cathedral-ceiling guest bedroom with exposed beams and adjoining study offers drama and flexibility, while the fully gutted and enlarged bathroom is a showpiece with artisan tile, a walk-in shower with bench, dual vanity, and abundant natural light. The primary suite has been refined with plaster restoration, refinished floors, expanded closets, and a serene arched hallway leading to a balcony overlooking the gardens and pool. A new second-floor laundry center, updated windows, insulation upgrades, Farrow & Ball finishes, and a restored slate roof enhance efficiency, beauty, and peace of mind throughout. Outdoors, the property shines as a summer sanctuary. The saltwater pool has been fully updated with new systems (2024-25) and is complemented by a gazebo with electricity, perfect for al fresco dinners, music, or shaded afternoons. Rock gardens, Rose of Sharon, hibiscus, and layered landscaping provide seasonal beauty, while the sweeping lawn invites play and gatherings. Set in a sought-after location with a sidewalk into town, this one-of-a-kind property is just moments from Lenox's cultural heart stroll to Shakespeare & Co., Canyon Ranch, or The Mount. With its storied past, significant recent updates, and enchanting grounds, this is a turnkey Lenox treasure where history, beauty, and modern ease come together.Show Description
