North Egremont, Mass. Casual Contemporary

 

 

This casual contemporary situated on twelve acres of countryside in North Egremont, Mass., is certainly elegant, but it’s even more about comfort. The 4,968 square-foot, five-bedroom home built in 2004 features an open floor plan with rich wood floors, cathedral ceilings, four fireplaces (two wood, two gas), and a kitchen with an enormous, granite-topped island and easy access to a formal dining area and screened-in porch.

 

The master suite upstairs includes a bedroom with hardwood floors and a fireplace, plus a private office with an additional fireplace. A lower level family room, along with separate media and exercise rooms and a kitchenette, has its own private patios offering direct access to the backyard’s swimming pond and waterfall, sandy beach, bonfire pit, tree house, and jaw-dropping views that stretch, quite literally, as far as the eye can see.—$2,900,000 [Mar/Apr 2010]
