About this home
Once the First Methodist Episcopal Church, built in 1898, this incredible 6,500 sq ft property has been thoughtfully reimagined as a two-family residence and offers unparalleled potential for an artist's dream live/work space. Located just a short walk from downtown on a 3/4 lot abutting an 18 acre nature reserve, this building is ideally positioned to offer both the tranquility of the Berkshires and proximity to its cultural and natural attractions. On one side, the 4,000 sq ft SoHo-style loft spans two levels, blending historic charm with modern luxury. With soaring ceilings, original exposed wood beams, and rich hardwood floors, this 4-bedroom, 5-bath residence provides spacious, light-filled living areas with cozy floating sitting nooks that overlook the expansive great room below.
Two primary suites, one on each floor boast en suite bathrooms with elegant granite and marble finishes, while the chef's kitchen is fully equipped for both daily living and entertaining. On the other side, a stunning 2,500 sq ft sanctuary space, complete with towering stained glass windows, offers endless possibilities. This open, flexible space is perfect for an artist's studio, gallery, or a combination of both, ideal for anyone looking to create or display art in a one-of-a-kind environment, or as an additional dwelling. The building has undergone significant upgrades, including new heating and central AC systems, mini-split heat pumps/AC and complete structural reinforcements, ensuring both beauty and functionality. Perfect for an artist or creative professional, this property offers the rare opportunity to live and work in a stunning historic building with an inspiring setting, all within easy reach of downtown Lee and the best that the Berkshires has to offer: art galleries, outdoor adventures, world-class performances, and so much more.
