4 Bedroom House in Sheffield

Enjoy your vacation in a beautiful historic house located in the heart of the Berkshires. Located two and a quarter hours north of New York City, this circa-1770s center chimney colonial will charm and delight your family and guests.
The rarest of New England homes, with historic bones and bright contemporary additions, August Moon sits on 88 acres of private and peaceful land in the heart of the Berkshires with mountain views from various parts of the property. Just steps away from beautiful hiking trails, it features a perfect blend of new and old, urbane and rustic, and with an eternal quality that is felt throughout the home and the vast property. Enjoy western views of Mount Race and Mount Everett from the grounds, or explore the walking trail through the woods. The trailhead to Racebrook Falls can be accessed by walking down the dirt road where the house is located.
With 3100 sq. ft of wood floors and cozy decor, this spacious house was renovated with two additions: sunroom with master bedroom above, and a gourmet kitchen. The original portion of the house includes a den with fireplace and 42" plasma tv with satellite surround sound home theater system. Built-in bookshelves have loads of great reading and an eclectic DVD library that should have something for everyone. The Parlor is a wood-paneled room with a wood-burning stove, opening up to a small deck with Adirondack chairs for lounging. This is a great room for entertaining with a stereo, turntable, and vinyl record collection. Connecting to the parlor is the traditional dining room which has a table that can seat 10 and a candle fireplace.
A bright sunroom opens up to a back patio with teak outdoor furniture, an umbrella, and vast flower gardens that bloom in every season.
In the Master Suite, wake up to beautiful mountain views particularly spectacular during fall foliage season, and go to bed relaxed after taking a soak in the private master bath jacuzzi. Bath and shower products and candles along with luxurious bath robes complete the experience. Vaulted ceilings, cherry hardwood floors, and walk-around deck make this room a relaxing retreat. All bedrooms feature down comforters, high thread count sheets and fans. All bathrooms feature hair dryers, robes, plush towels, Shampoo, Conditioner and Shower Gel.
Bedrooms: In addition to the spacious master, there are three guestrooms with great architectural details like original wood beams and hardwood floors. The upstairs landing with skylights and gas stove features a day bed perfect for reading in the afternoon.
Kitchen: The gourmet kitchen features top-notch equipment like a WOLF eight-burner stove and is fully stocked with cookware, utensils, barware, dishware and other essential cooking tools. A secondary kitchen with another refrigerator makes entertaining for larger groups easy.
Flower gardens are in abundance and you will be enticed to the hammock to unwind and soak in the incredible mountain views. After playing a round of tennis on the clay court, enjoy a glass of iced-tea on the outdoor porch furniture at the tennis house bar. Or retreat to the shaded seated area behind the cutting garden or shady hideaway under the canopy of the weeping Katsura tree.
Other amenities include: walking trails, tennis court, two fireplaces, wood-burning stove, gas stove, air conditioning in the tv room, master suite, sunroom, and kitchen. WI-FI, cable HDTV, DVD, VCR, stereo, CDs, Jacuzzi tub, microwave, dishwasher, linens, washer/dryer. The three-story garage features a ping-pong and pool table game room on the 2nd story. In the garage, find bikes and helmets for kids and adults, and loads of outdoor games like bocce, croquet, corn hole, badminton, and more. A kids' outdoor playhouse and secret playroom in the twin bedroom are great places for the little ones to play.

Summary: A perfect place for our family get together! Almost equidistant from Boston and New York City (and just a bit farther from Philadelphia), August Moon was a wonderful setting to spend time together. We especially loved the size and workability of the kitchen as we cooked together. Having both a "formal" dining room and an eat-in kitchen gave us lots of options to hang out. The living/family rooms, too, were very comfortable and made for a great few days. Being in the Berkshires provides so many fun activities. We were 9 people and had plenty of space in this lovely farmhouse.

Summary: This is the second time we have stayed at this beautiful rural property about 15 minuts from Great Barrington. The host has always been extremely attentive and drove up from NYC to attend to a heater problem when we had trouble. The house is large and fully stocked with every amenity, particularly the kitchen. There are lots of rooms downstairs to be together or separate. The outdoor space is large and well maintained with hiking trials and lots of space for lawn games, including a tennis court. Close to lots of antique shops and good groceries. Extremely relaxing. My family is already asking when we will go back.

Summary: This home is beautiful and sparkling clean! Perfect location from our daughter’s wedding venue! The property is gorgeous with a fabulous view! Wish we had more time to spend at the house, it had 2 outdoor sitting areas, tennis court, huge barn with a pool table. The beds were super comfortable, kitchen was state of the art, and numerous rooms for sitting areas. Definitely would return in the future!

Summary: August Moon was the perfect spot to host our Thanksgiving weekend. The kitchen had all the tools we needed, and we loved going on long hikes on the property and nearby. The house is so warm and comfortable and there are endless things to do, from building fires, to listening to records, or playing in games with kids of all ages. Jill was very communicative, and check-in was seamless. I would stay again, perhaps in summer, so that we could enjoy more of the outdoor activities.

Summary: The home and property is everything advertised and so much more. From the minute we entered the driveway and saw the home surrounded by the stunning gardens we knew we were in for a treat. We loved sitting in the Adirondack chairs in the side yard and walking and exploring the large acreage surrounding the home. But then as you set foot inside the house, you discover the treasures in every room of the house. Designed to be comfortable to friend groups, families, couples, this house will please everyone. The kitchen is fully equipped and we enjoyed making breakfast on the griddle of the Wolf Stove, then looking out the gorgeous windows into the garden and yard surrounding us. We loved candlelight dinners in the dining room, all the warmth of this home in the fireplace room. There's a sun room to enjoy in the day and a living room with television for others. The bedrooms are all upstairs and each bed is very comfortable and carefully furnished with quality bedding. This home is so unique; farmhouse but modernized and it has everything. We loved it so much and highly recommend August Moon!
