Exceptional Leonard Willeke-designed home swells with unrivaled pride of ownership. Possessing a perfect combination of original character, functionality and thoughtful improvement, 1068 Berkshire is located on one of the most desirable blocks in The Pointes with homes surpassing $1M in value. Four, stunning leaded-glass bay windows flood the home with sunlight. Desirable first floor layout with large living room, leaded glass bays, beautiful Pewabic tile fireplace, plaster crown molding and original quartersawn oak floors.
