30 Oststraße

Introducing: Penelope. This home unlocks a new tier of Lakeville living. Set in one of the town’s most coveted, close to everything neighborhoods, it places the lake, town parades, bike path, and local dining right at your fingertips. The location is almost secondary to the house itself: this might just be the best-maintained home we’ve ever seen, with no detail too small to be thoughtfully reimagined. Inside, natural light floods the oversized living room, framing garden views where you can lounge on the couch and watch hummingbirds flit between flowers. The adjacent dining room provides a flexible space, accommodating a boisterous dinner parties just as easily as tea for two. In the kitchen, fresh paint, updated appliances, and pearl hexagon backsplash offer ample workspace for your resident chef. If your chef has unexpectedly retired, dinner at Fern or White Hart are just moments away. Updated floors and fresh paint enhance the main floor, anchored by a primary suite featuring generous closets. Attached is an elegantly designed bath with charming black and white penny tile. Two additional main floor bedrooms and full bath easily give you flexibility as guest quarters or a quiet home office. Downstairs is where you will likely gasp, ”There’s more?” Positioned right off a heated two-car garage that makes cold New England mornings officially a thing of the past, the laundry room is so cheery you’ll actually volunteer for an extra load.

A second living room with a wood burning fireplace creates an ideal hideaway, paired with a fourth bedroom and half bath that gives guests-or an ornery teenager-their own private floor with access to the backyard. The real surprise lies in the oversized gym area, lined with rubber floor mats and wall-to-wall mirrors. You don’t even need a workout program for friends and family to officially label you a gym rat; when they see this space, they will just assume you have gone deep on the Peloton leaderboard and look for your Aura Ring to confirm their speculations. Outside, the grounds make the interior look like warmup material. A custom pergola frames a generous stone fireplace for outdoor entertaining. Thoughtful and stunning perennial gardens placed around the house. A secondary patio features a giant iron cauldron firepit-perfect for gathering friends on crisp autumn nights or convincing the neighborhood kids you’ve joined a coven. Convenient to Hotchkiss, Berkshire, IMS, Millbrook, the Appalachian Trail, and the local lakes, this is Lakeville living at its absolute peak.
