Listing broker remarks

A rare architectural gem, the Jonathan Woodbridge House, built in 1806, exhibits all the classic hallmarks of Federal Georgian design: elegant proportions, symmetry and magnificent carved Palladian details. The eleven gracious rooms retain original floors, paneling and moldings and six fireplaces set within two grand hallways, two parlors, a library, dining room, four bedrooms and a kitchen/great room. Few structures in the Berkshires possess this degree of both architectural and historical significance. The property includes nearly three acres of gardens and woods. Located in western Massachusetts, equidistant to the cultural amenities of the Berkshires and the Pioneer Valley, this unique property provides the perfect setting for gracious living and elegant entertaining.— Hilltown Real Estate by Adams Realty
