Unit A at 205 Wendell Avenue is
nearly 2,000 square feet on one level and has no common walls. It is an
authentic Tudor Mansion built to the highest English standards. It is one
of six condominiums designed by Prentice Bradley (former owner,
architect) and set on a estate in the heart of the Berkshires. All
floors, walls and ceilings were recently renewed.
Jacqueline Onassis Kennedy's carpenter valued the quarter-sawn oak in the floor,
ceiling, and walls at more than the purchase price. Chandeliers from
crystal to bronze, bronze
sconces, and crystal door knobs abound. The living areas consist of a
Great Hall (greeting/entertaining/living room), Library (beyond equal
with solid oak ceiling, walls and floors), a St. Charles galley kitchen
(with stainless steel cabinets, counters, and updated appliances),
master bedroom suite (complete with bath, walk-in closet, and entrance
hallway), half bath off the smaller entry foyer, and an oversized
passive solar veranda (that doubles as a bedroom if desired). French
doors, sliding parlor doors, leaded glass windows, built-in bookshelves,
a carriage house, carved stone and marble fireplaces accentuate the
elegance -- as do over 70 feet of silk drapes. An enormous storage area
(past the wine cellar and hobby rooms) is located directly under and
accessible via elevator for convenience. A modern gas heating system,
new high-capacity wiring, and total wall/ceiling insulation ensure a
quiet, enjoyable living experience - as does the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood.
