The Capt. Silvanus Brown House

Welcome to the Capt. Silvanus Brown house, a historic country home located at the crossroads of Columbia and Berkshire Counties. This remarkable 1790 Colonial home retains many of the original 18th century details including high ceilings, spacious rooms, five fireplaces, original hardware, and beautifully burnished wood floors. The residence offers an easy flow with plenty of room for friends and family. On the first floor the custom kitchen was sensitively designed to respect period authenticity and is complete with an AGA range, SubZero refrigerator, marble countertops, and ample storage space. There is also a separate dining room, gathering room with open hearth, a library/office, and two bedrooms and two full baths. On the second floor there is a spectacular family room with a working fireplace and two more bedrooms. Set on 9+ bucolic acres, this historic property includes a classic red barn, a vineyard, and garage. The location is ideal for enjoying the best of the region. Spend your days swimming and kayaking at nearby Queechy Lake, exploring local hiking trails, or experiencing world-class music, dance, and theater at Tanglewood, Jacob’s Pillow, MacHayden summer theater, PS 21, and Barrington Stage. Indulge in fine dining at the diverse restaurants in Great Barrington, Lenox, Chatham, Hudson, and Williamstown. You can also explore local farmer’s markets for fresh ingredients to create your own delicious meals to enjoy on your deck, overlooking the vineyard and barn while sipping your own organic wine.
