Towards the end of Sky Top Road and tucked away at the end of a long driveway sits The Nine-Square House. A modernist masterpiece, the home is perched amidst dramatic natural topography with magnificent views of the Taconic Hills. The Nine-Square House was born of a several-year-long collaboration between a multi-disciplinary artist/designer and an esteemed architect. The result is an immensely livable and sustainable 3,900 square-foot home that carefully balances the relationship between its well thought out interiors and the surrounding wooded landscapes and impressive open views of multiple mountain ranges. Every feature of the home was conceived to be both functional and pleasing to the eye; after all, the team behind the house spent more than two years planning a design that addressed every conceivable ergonomic and environmental question. The nine-square philosophy of living is very much felt in the distribution of spaces - on the main floor, the double living room, dining area, and kitchen all flow into each other and are anchored by a marble fireplace and three large glass doors opening to the exterior terrace with a breathtaking view. The kitchen features Danish-designed Reform cabinetry, Bardiglio marble, and Fisher Paykel appliances.

Originally constructed in 1875, the house was owned by local church for Pastor Andrus, a name still prevalent in the Berkshires. A subsequent cast of owners included the Town Physician, Dr. Roberts and later Sheffield's Chief of Police. The previous owner bought the property as a two-family home which it remained until 2002 when the current owners purchased the property and converted it back to a one family home. The transformation of this property has been meticulously executed in four distinct phases, each enhancing the home's charm and functionality. Phase 1 focused on reinforcing the front portico and constructing a new porch, setting a welcoming tone. Inside, the main house saw extensive upgrades: wallpaper removal, floor refinishing, fresh paint, and ceiling repairs breathed new life into the rooms. A clever conversion of a large closet into a half-bath improved the foyer, while strategic window closures on the northwest side increased wall space without sacrificing natural light. The second floor underwent a significant reconfiguration, reducing the number of bedrooms from four to three to create a luxurious walk-in closet and an expanded bathroom with a large tub, and new fixtures. The living room's fireplace was serviced, ensuring cozy gatherings. Phase 2's rear section saw the transformation of a den/kitchen into a primary bedroom with cathedral ceilings and a primary bath/shower combo. A discovered chimney was restored, adding character, while new fixtures, windows, and a zoned baseboard heating system modernized the space. The side porch was enclosed to create a functional mudroom, and the groundwork for a future garage was laid. The third bedroom transitioned into a den, complete with new closets. Phase 3's kitchen expansion was remarkable, featuring new appliances, cabinetry, and soapstone countertops repurposed from a high school lab. The removal of old linoleum revealed original floors with historic markings, preserved for their character. A new laundry chute, plumbing for washer/dryer, and the elimination of an unnecessary bathroom streamlined the home's functionality. In the basement, a new oil tank, electrical upgrades, a water softener, and organized storage solutions were implemented. The garage, a proud addition, offers ample space, electrical outlets, and an ingenious heat transfer system from the bulkhead, keeping vehicles warm in winter. Above the oversized attached two car garage, a versatile room serves as an office or potential yoga/exercise space, complete with a propane heater, window A/C, and engineered wood floors. The property's exterior boasts a brand-new septic system and a detached building with commercial potential, complete with its own electric meter and plumbing linked to the septic system. Zoned for multi-purpose use, this property offers flexibility for residential or commercial aspirations, with an existing exterior sign to streamline the permitting process for business use. Each phase of renovation has been thoughtfully designed to enhance the home's historic charm while providing modern comforts and conveniences.
