Posh Meadow: Step into Berkshire living at its finest with this extraordinary contemporary conversion of an 1865 barn, where historic character meets modern sophistication. Nestled on 3+ acres of mature landscaping in sought-after Becket, this unique 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence offers an unparalleled lifestyle just moments from many of the Berkshires' cultural treasures.
The main home celebrates its agricultural heritage with soaring double-height ceilings, original timber framing, and expansive windows that flood the interiors with natural light. Four generously sized bedrooms and 2.5 thoughtfully appointed bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations for everyone. The grounds are nothing short of spectacular - your private oasis features a sparkling in-ground pool perfect for summer entertaining, a delightful new pool house, and an additional studio/barn offering endless possibilities as an artist's retreat, workshop, or storage space.
Perhaps most enviable is the location - a mere 2-minute drive to Jacob's Pillow, the internationally acclaimed dance festival that draws performers and enthusiasts from around the globe. Yet despite this proximity to world-class culture, the property maintains complete privacy and serenity.
This is more than a home - it's a lifestyle. Experience the magic of the Berkshires, where history, culture, and natural beauty converge. Call today to book your private tour!
