STILL HOUSE brings a new level of contemporary design to the Berkshires—quietly luxurious, exquisitely detailed, and made to be lived in. Minutes from the center of Great Barrington, this newly completed 5,148-square-foot home pairs the distinctive vision of acclaimed Brooklyn studio Me & General Design with exceptional craftsmanship and materials throughout. Four bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, a heated saltwater pool, bespoke spa and fitness spaces, solar energy and exceptional privacy make this as much a retreat as a home.Preserved stone walls from the original structure bring history, texture and a distinctly Berkshire character to the new architecture. The main living level opens into a dramatic kitchen, dining and living space with cathedral ceilings, two stories of glass and views into the surrounding landscape. The custom Porcelanosa kitchen features richly veined stone, a substantial island, induction cooking, double ovens, integrated refrigeration, microwave drawer, dedicated coffee station and breakfast nook. A separate stone-walled sitting room offers a restored wood-burning fireplace and a more intimate place to gather.The main-level primary suite makes true one-floor living possible, with direct deck access, a walk-in closet and private bath. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and two full baths, plus a library/sitting area overlooking the great room. The light-filled lower level includes a private fourth bedroom suite, home cinema, office, yoga/Pilates studio, traditional Canadian red cedar sauna, full bath and laundry.High-efficiency multi-zone heat pumps, radiant lower-level heat and solar energy support year-round comfort. Outside, the heated saltwater pool is set against mature trees, with decks, paths, stonework and an outdoor fireplace creating places to gather throughout the seasons. Landscape design by Windy Hill Farm complements the natural setting.Lake Mansfield, Monument Mountain, Ski Butternut, Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow and the restaurants, shops and cultural life of Great Barrington are all within easy reach.STILL HOUSE is the inaugural residence of NUESTRA Collection, a series of design-led Berkshire homes created around a simple idea: exceptional contemporary design should feel as good to live in as it is to look at.— Birch Properties
