Mountaintop Revival

This newly remodeled hilltop farmhouse is a true slice of paradise perched above the Green River, featuring amazing views of Mt Greylock, the highest mountain in Massachusetts. The meandering driveway travels through a beautifully manicured apple orchard on a lush hillside rising up from the river valley. Originally planned as a full renovation of the interior with only a few small areas of new siding, the demo revealed deteriorated insulation and entirely-absent exterior sheathing, which led to new sheathing and replacement of all insulation and siding.

Spacious rooms with strategic window placement capture all the views. The kitchen overlooks a natural stone terraced patio with full floor-to-ceiling doors featuring large glass panels which maximize natural light, create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and make the space feel significantly larger. The great room and music studio highlights vaulted ceilings and cherry-wrapped trusses with visible steel rod-and-turnbuckles in the ceiling and 8-foot tall, 16-foot wide sliding doors which capture an expansive view of the Berkshire-Taconic mountain range. Exterior blue tones and simple, well-defined roof lines on this home are complemented by the expansive sky and surrounding landscape.
