The Only Remaining "Great Estate" of Private Residency in Lenox Hits The Market

Now more than ever, we can all use a bit of escapism. No era is more fun to daydream about than the Gilded Age and the roaring 1920s. In Newport and the Hamptons, there were grand Gatsby-esque parties, wealth, and the mega-mansions of the Carnegies, Vanderbilts, and Morgans. In the stunning mountains of the Berkshires, there was all the elegance and grandeur with an added feeling of escape and serenity. The property 101 Yokun Ave. Lenox MA is listed for $5,900,000.

The Berkshires attracted the aristocrats and financiers from Boston and New York City, who built great estates and sprawling summer camps. Originally built for the U.S. Ambassador to Denmark, the home was later owned by Kate Winthrop, the daughter of Moses Taylor, one of the founders of Citibank and among the wealthiest men in NYC in the 19th century. The current owners, Jamie and Ethan Berg, have meticulously restored the estate, now known as Ethelwynde, to its original elegance and prestige.

The spectacular Winthrop Estate, known as Ethelwynde, is an exquisitely renovated compound with over 31 acres of gardens, walking trails, and hideaways. The 11,700+ sq ft residence was built in 1927 with impressive architectural details throughout. The rooms are gracious and open, harking back to the ‘20s, but also perfectly suited to today’s lifestyle. Some of the home’s beautiful features include a grand living room with double exposures overlooking the Great Lawn and terraces, a luscious library with Purpleheart paneling, a dining room purposely placed in the heart of the house, a three-exposure conservatory and so much more.

The estate also includes a midcentury guest house. The 1,800 square feet midcentury guest house has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and is on a private 1.3 acre parcel with separate drive.
