This one-of-a-kind residence is brimming with character and has been lovingly maintained to showcase its original features while providing all the comforts of Berkshire living. This majestic home has a fascinating origin story. Built in the late 1800s, it was once the east wing of the summer residence of the Pillsbury family. Originally adjoined with the house behind it on Wendell Avenue and situated a half block away, the sprawling grand estate was divided into two separate homes, and carefully moved by horse in the early 1900s, establishing the neighborhood that would grow around them. As a result, the living and dining rooms of this home are impressively grand in scale, with 10 1/2 foot ceilings, a dining room with period chandelier that can comfortably seat 12, offering ample room for family holidays and gracious entertaining. The current family has cherished it since the 70s, adding to its rich history. As you enter, you'll be greeted by the warmth of rich woodwork and the elegance of bygone craftsmanship.
