Pennyroyal: Mount Washington Artist’s Compound with Bucolic Views and Timeless Simplicity on 600 Conservation Acres!
3 bedrooms, 2 full baths: Available May – November: Bring your own wifi card. For the right group, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Built in 1820, Pennyroyal has been in the same family for five generations. Determined to keep the land and integrity of original rustic lifestyle, this home is a testament to Berkshire living from days gone by.
Updated kitchen and baths provide comfort and efficiency and the three (3) large bedrooms have a dormitory-type appeal. There are two (2) full baths: one with a tub only and one with a shower. There is 2500 square feet of living space in the main house.
Behind the house there are two picnic tables for dining al fresco with views of breathtaking Mount Washington. Sitting on its own, in the meadow, is the corncrib. This 160 sq. ft space is now utilized as an art studio. The open yard, meadows, and fields face to the West so you can imagine the sunsets!
The main floor has the eat-in kitchen, large dining room, parlor, and a pantry “bread kitchen” – complete with farm cooking utensils normally found in museums. There are modern gadgets, pots, and utensils for actual cooking – no worries! Upstairs the layout of the three bedrooms is: one bedroom with a queen bed, the second bedroom has a full and a twin and the third bedroom has a full bed in it. The rooms are simple, sparse, and have fantastic touches such as a great oversized mirror, vintage photographs, and a bedroom sink that, although it is no longer used, has plenty of charm. You cannot get away from the magnificent views from each room of the house. There is no TV, internet access, or cell service here. There is a landline with unlimited local and domestic long distance calling. What you will find here is a slower pace, peace and quiet… space to breathe.
Pennyroyal is offered from May – November and the rate for the five months is $20,000. Pets are welcome
