520 State Rd 306

Some spaces change the way you imagine living. Loft 306 is one of them.

1,985 SF inside. Another 1,615 SF of private terrace outside. South-facing Berkshire mountain views. Suddenly there is room for long summer dinners, a garden in pots, friends for the weekend, morning coffee in the sun--and an entire outdoor room under a very big Berkshire sky.

Conceived by celebrated architects LATENT, Greylock WORKS is a highly considered transformation of a historic Berkshire mill, respecting what was here rather than erasing it. Original brick, massive timber beams, weathered columns and restored wood floors have been preserved and celebrated, while highly custom modern interventions and locally sourced materials create something both distinctly of the present and deeply rooted in place. The expansive living and dining space unfolds beneath those original beams and columns, with windows on multiple sides bringing in light and framing the surrounding hills. Built-in window benches practically insist that you sit down and enjoy the view. A few steps away, doors open directly onto the terrace, allowing inside and out to become one generous living space.

And what a space it is. At 1,615 SF, the private terrace gives you room to live out of doors with the same generosity as within: long lunches and dinners, lounging, entertaining, planting--or doing very little at all while looking out across the Berkshire mountains.

The kitchen is made for gathering, with a substantial island, extensive cabinetry, stainless appliances, gas cooktop and locally sourced schist countertops. Two bedrooms and two full baths offer privacy for owners and guests, while the primary bath--with its freestanding soaking tub beside an original mill column--beautifully captures the dialogue between the building's industrial past and its modern life.
There is ample storage, built-in closet organization and dedicated laundry, too. Because beautiful Berkshire homes are considerably more enjoyable when everything has somewhere to go.

Beyond your door are the Greylock WORKS fitness center, library, sauna, Sunset Lounge and rooftop deck, along with the food, makers, wellness and events of this remarkable historic mill campus. MASS MoCA and downtown North Adams are minutes away; Williams College, Williamstown and the outdoor life of the northern Berkshires are close at hand.

A Berkshire loft for people who care about architecture and place--but also mountains, space, friends around the table and a life lived very happily out of doors.
