Friday Front Porch Feature: Historic Craftmanship on Park Avenue
By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — Are you looking for a unique estate with historic craftsmanship? Then this is the home for you.
Our Friday Front Porch is a weekly feature spotlighting attractive homes for sale in Berkshire County. This week, we are showcasing 1 Park Ave.
This four-bedroom, 4 1/2-bath house was built in 1913 and is 6,755 square feet (which includes a finished third floor) with more than five acres.
The home is rich in character with wood flooring, a sweeping staircase, and original architectural details that are a rare find.
The main level includes a kitchen with a butler's pantry and a walk-in pantry. There is also a living room with fireplace, a den, drawing room, and multiple porches to enjoy the outdoors.
Upstairs you'll find the primary suite that includes a sitting room and a sun porch. It also has a bathroom with a jetted soaking tub, steam shower, and bidet.
The home also has a four-car garage and its finished third floor is perfect to use as another living space or a recreational room.
The house is on the market for $1,275,000.
We spoke with Sheila Thunfors with Stone House Properties who is listing the home.
What do you think makes this house stand out in the current market?
It is so rare to find a house of this vintage with such exceptional craftsmanship and in such outstanding condition. To replicate would be near impossible and beyond exorbitant in cost. There is a remarkable balance of elegance with comfortable everyday living.
