Rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored Berkshire cottage at 17 Main Street, perfectly situated in the vibrant heart of downtown Lenox. This remarkable property, originally built in 1883 and once the residence of Gilded Age shipping magnate John Schermerhorn, combines historic elegance with modern comfort. The home underwent a comprehensive renovation between 2021 and 2025, including a new 30-year roof, upgraded electrical and plumbing, 8.5 renovated bathrooms, custom millwork, and restored original hardwood floors. The gourmet kitchen features a Viking 8-burner oven, KitchenAid designer dishwasher, and commercial-grade refrigeration--ideal for private entertaining or everyday living. All systems are new, including a four-zone HVAC and seven mini-splits for year-round comfort. With eight bedrooms (plus potential for a ninth), five fireplaces with new gas log sets, and inviting communal spaces, this home offers in-town living at its best. Enjoy the ultimate walk-to-everything lifestyle--steps away from Lenox's charming village, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shops, and the library. Outdoor highlights include a newly designed patio, a five-car carport, and multiple decks for entertaining. Whether you envision a private residence or a unique investment, the property is currently operated as a turnkey inn with luxury accommodations.
