Peek inside Berkshires ‘gingerbread house’
The property, which has been rented for parties, has seven bedrooms, three full baths, and three half baths.
The Berkshires is dotted with historic properties, but there aren’t many that look like they’ve popped right out of a fairy tale — “gingerbread house” and all.
Enter Santarella.
The property, 75-77 Main Road in Tyringham, is listed for $2,190,000. On its 3.78 acres, you’ll find four structures. The first is what listing agent Steven Weisz refers to as the “gingerbread house.” With a thatched roof and wood paneling inside, this structure looks like something Hans Christian Andersen would have depicted.
“[It] has been used as a party hall for people having conferences, weddings, yoga retreats, or concerts,” Weisz said. Inside, there is a large open space with lots of windows and high ceilings. Attached to the “gingerbread house” is a one-bedroom silo that has been used as a rental.
The second structure is a standalone silo that has a bedroom, full bath, and living room.
The third structure on the property is a bit more traditional, a four-bedroom Colonial with a kitchen, wood beams, exposed brick, and lots of historic character. He noted that the owners have also rented this out to larger groups.
Lastly, there is a guest cottage.
“It is a one-bedroom house that backs up onto a little stream that empties into a lily pond,” Weisz said.
In total, the property offers seven bedrooms, three full baths, three half baths, and 7,750 square feet of living space. It features gardens, bridges, and brooks.
The owners leased out the bigger space and lived in the guest cottage, Weisz said.
He noted that the property was built in stages. Some parts date to the 1750s, while the “gingerbread house” was built in the 1920s and 30s.
