Property Description
Extraordinary opportunity to own a showcase of New England history and hospitality--17 Main Street, a masterfully restored Berkshire cottage in the vibrant heart of downtown Lenox. Originally built in 1883 and once owned by Gilded Age shipping magnate John Schermerhorn, this landmark property blends historic grandeur with modern comfort.
