Mountain House, perched on a cliff, was inspirationally designed by Michael Trapp to take advantage of a site that provides panoramic views of the Berkshire foothills beyond. Oversized windows abound to take in the views and allow for natural light to infuse the interiors. The open floor plan includes the living room with soaring, beamed ceiling, a fireplace surrounded by floor-to-ceiling native stone, and a wall of windows with French doors opening to the 900 SF deck. The large formal dining room opens to the deck. The galley kitchen has high-end stainless appliances and a gorgeous custom marble sink. A smaller dining room has built-in cabinets. The kitchen, living and dining room floors are 18th century French tiles, arranged in squares outlined with narrow bands of wood. The master bedroom has spectacular views, and a luxurious bath with shower and soaking tub. A guest bedroom is en suite. Up the staircase is another en suite bedroom. Over 5000 square feet of outdoor patios, decks and terraces surround the house – some quite expansive, others intimate. Doors in every room access these beautiful outdoor spaces. “A thin veil separates the inside from the outside”, is how Michael Trapp described the effect. There is a small pool with a fountain. An amazing outdoor shower with amazing view has recently been installed. The artful entry of terraced Belgium block, stone and boxwoods, is reached via a long driveway. A very private place with dreamlike serenity.
