Nestled in twenty acres of forest, this spacious and comfortable home offers a serene oasis where you'll feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. As you immerse yourself in nature, surrounded by abundant wildlife, you'll enjoy a sense of calm and tranquility. Whether you're looking to unwind with a good book, explore the natural beauty of the area or experience the endless delights of the Berkshires, you have found an ideal retreat for a refreshing and revitalizing stay. The space The Oak Hill House is situated in a prime location, on the western foothills of the Berkshires, between Williamstown and Petersburgh, NY, near the borders of Massachusetts and Vermont. It's a 20-minute drive to the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, or to Bistro 42 in Hoosick Falls, and a 40-minute drive to the Albany airport or the Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield. The house is designed as a barn-style home with soaring cathedral ceilings that create an uplifting and airy feeling. The first floor offers a generous living room, dining room, a den with a 1990's large-screen TV, a fully equipped eat-in kitchen (somewhat dated but very functional), a glass-enclosed sun porch, an oversized wrap-around deck with built-in benches and outdoor furniture, a foyer/mudroom, and a half-bath. On the second floor, four bedrooms, each with ample storage. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a large oval tub, a separate walk-in shower, a makeup vanity and a bidet, while the other bathroom on this floor offers a tub/shower combination. On the third floor, two lofts provide additional working or reading spaces (there is a total of five comfortable desk/working stations throughout the house), and on the basement level, a pantry and laundry room including another half-bath are available for your convenience. Outside, a shed, youth basketball half-court, and swing set for outdoor recreation and relaxation. What sets this house apart is that it's not just a temporary living space - it's our home (we're currently working abroad). As a guest, you'll experience the warmth and comfort of a true home, rather than just a functional space with the basics for a short stay. We have stored all our personal items, but left everything else; this means that you'll have access to many more amenities than can possibly be listed. A bit of history: Thirty-five years ago in March, we welcomed a new baby, bought a house, and purchased a microwave oven - in that order, and all within a span of three weeks. After a discouraging day of house hunting in the Berkshires, we stumbled upon the Oak Hill House and were immediately captivated by its expansive open living area, grand cathedral ceilings, and large windows that flooded the space with natural light. We sensed positive energy all around us and knew that this was the place we were meant to call home. The family who had recently built it was relocating and, fortunately, was open to our query of selling us the house fully furnished. We found ourselves at ease with most of the furniture, soon adopting the decor as a cohesive whole despite not having chosen it ourselves. It almost felt like we had to preserve the spirit of the house, and nurture it. And we had everything we needed - except for a microwave! Of course, over the years, we have made many changes. We built the lofts, replaced furniture and upgraded appliances. We added beautiful oriental rugs, a piano, and installed artifacts brought back from far away travels, creating a unique and eclectic unpretentious style. The house is getting older now and some aspects are in need of updating (the outdated kitchen, a few foggy windows and never ending exterior staining, for example), but if you don't mind a few cosmetic shortcomings (that we'll address in due time), we are confident that you will have a very enjoyable stay. We invite you to experience the tranquility and privacy of the Oak Hill House and create your own memories in this unassuming but unique property.
