Description

The Winthrop Estate

Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Lenox, Massachusetts, stands one of the Berkshires' most cherished treasures: a Great Estate that epitomizes the grandeur of a bygone era. Originally commissioned in 1875 by Henri Braem, U.S. Ambassador to Denmark and heir to the Cunard Steamship Co. fortune, this magnificent residence underwent a lavish renovation and meticulous upkeep to retain its opulent charm. Set on over 31 acres of sprawling grounds, the estate commands breathtaking views of the Yokun Ridge mountains, offering a serene retreat from the bustle of everyday life.

Stepping through the ornate entrance, guests are greeted by a gracious foyer that sets the tone for the grandeur that awaits within. The main residence boasts an array of splendid public rooms, including a sprawling 23' x 34' living room adorned with exquisite detailing, a library paneled in rare Purpleheart wood sourced from the Amazon forest, and a stately dining room capable of seating twenty esteemed guests. A three-exposure solarium bathes the interior in natural light, while an expansive kitchen, butler's pantry, and powder room cater to every need with utmost luxury.

Ascending the grand staircase, visitors discover six sumptuous bedrooms, each boasting its own ensuite bathroom and captivating views of the surrounding landscape. Most bedrooms feature cozy fireplaces, adding a touch of warmth and elegance to the already inviting ambiance. Additionally, a separate wing offers four additional bedrooms or offices, providing ample space for relaxation or productivity.

Beyond the confines of the estate, guests can immerse themselves in the rich cultural tapestry of the Berkshires. From exploring the vibrant arts scene in nearby Lenox, including the renowned Tanglewood music venue and festival, to indulging in outdoor adventures such as hiking, skiing, or golfing amidst the scenic beauty of the region, there's no shortage of activities to suit every preference.

With its convenient location just a short two-hour drive from both Boston and New York City, this enchanting estate offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the timeless allure of the Berkshires in unparalleled luxury and style.
