Overview
Description
RIVERBEND A gracious and eloquent 1911 mansion which tells the story of Pittsfield and of early families and industrial importance. Riverbend tells the story of the work of artisans and attention to detail and of quality natural materials such as marble, and brick and hardwood designed to stand the test of time.
This is immediately evident when you first arrive at the colonial revival home. The fountain, the porte cochere, the abundance of marble and stone, the classic architectural details all combine to welcome you and excite your guests.
Step through the door and step back in time for a moment. R-20 zoning, 11 bedrooms in three residences, 3.7 acres, a timeless home steeped in history and with inspiring architectural details.

Step through the door and step back in time for a moment. See the center hall unfold in front of you, the light playing on the gleaming wood floors, culminating in an arched ceiling and curved wall of glass... and beyond the large bluestone veranda stretching across the back of the home is manicured lawn down to the river and the hills beyond.
This is an extraordinary and elegant home yet not a museum. This is a home for 21st century living but one in which you are embraced by classic architectural details and nearly lost craftsmanship at almost every turn.
Step through the curved glass door at the far end of the center hall and the brilliant light and views, the stretch of lawn and the expansive stone terrace will lead you to think you are isolated down a rural country lane. Yet you are on 3.7 acres on the most desirable street in SE Pittsfield, just minutes away from all of Berkshire County culture, the restaurants and the surging vibrancy of the Berkshires' largest town.
The main house boasts 5 fireplaces, 7 bedrooms, 6 � bathrooms and 7,758 square feet. Flanking the center hall to the right is the expansive living room with excellent light,that opens to a 4-season sunroom and screened porch overlooking the river. To the left is the elegant dining room opening to two butler's pantries. Fireplaces center each of the rooms and mirror one another. The library is quietly set off to the side of the living room. The kitchen, in addition to the multiple pantries and prep kitchen has a lovely breakfast area with southern light coming through French doors and views of the lawn and river.
There are two master suites upstairs each with a fireplace and master bath ensuite. Also on the second floor are 4 additional bedrooms and 3 more full baths, and a laundry room. The third floor has a wainscoted family-, game- or play room nestled in the eves and an additional bedroom reminiscent of an English nursery.
There are two additional residences, each with 2 bedrooms and open plan living, one in the original carriage barn and one above the heated 3 bay garage. In addition there is a large, heated, 2-story multi-functional building that once housed an antique car collection on the first floor and a conference center and offices on the second.
R-20 zoning, 11 bedrooms in three residences, 3.7 acres, a timeless home steeped in history and with inspiring architectural details.
