The Lakehouse enjoys a spectacular setting on a westerly facing cliff overlooking pristine Laurel Lake in the heart of The Berkshires. The Lakehouse is a classic three-story, turn-of-the-century lake cottage with 530' of lake frontage including its own dock. Built in 1903, the Lakehouse denotes the unpretentious, timeless elegance of a turn-of-the-century lakeside cottage. There are 15 bedrooms and suites all with stunning, private bathrooms. The Lakehouse is exquisitely appointed and furnished with an eye toward showcasing the clean, graceful architectural details of the original lake cottage while adding modern ''creature comforts'' and ''cutting edge'' bathroom design. The Lakehouse is perfect for large families to gather for long weekends or extended vacations year 'round. The Lakehouse has functioned as an inn for decades, but is designed to function perfectly as a fabulous, second home retreat. This pan-ultimate lakefront home enjoys a private, lakefront setting, yet is located in the heart of the Berkshires less than 8 minutes from Tanglewood, The Shakespeare Company, Jacob's Pillow, The Mount, downtown Lenox, downtown Lee and downtown Stockbridge. Imagine an incredible getaway where fifteen of your friends and family members can each have their own bedroom with private bathroom or suite with bedroom, private bathroom and sitting room, many with spectacular lake views; where a stunning, commercial-grade kitchen is available to all; where dinners are served on a huge paver deck facing gorgeous sunsets over Laurel Lake; and where, by day, your friends and family swim and fish from your private dock or launch kayaks and paddleboards and explore the pristine lake. This incredible property is set on two well-manicured acres and features many outdoor gathering areas, gardens, rock walls, bluestone patios & pathways, 5 outdoor gas fire pits and a dock area with direct access to the water. The 1903 cottage underwent a major, stem to stern renovation in 2015 -16 and in 2022 through early 2023 that preserved its historic character and period details. Renovations and upgrades include extensive new wiring & plumbing; mahogany porch and second floor balcony; commercial kitchen; mini split a/c units in every room; radiant heat throughout the first floor; new heating and sprinkler systems; refinished original flooring; newly tiled bathrooms; custom Marvin windows; and whole house back-up generator; making this property in move-in condition for any use. The cottage also offers a giant, partially-finished attic with breathtaking lake views that could be converted to more bedrooms, a game room or a luxurious living room. The property is centrally located between the towns of Lenox and Lee and easily accessible to all Berkshire recreational and cultural amenities and shopping.
