Property Description

Architect designed and custom built at the height of the Mid-century modern movement, this stunning 1968 home is full of original details. As soon as you open the front door, you are going to know that this is a special house. A wall of thick glass windows lights the way to a gorgeous central staircase. Up this bespoke staircase lies the most magnificent living room. With rich wood lining the walls and a breathtaking wall of glass looking over the wrap-around deck and wooded lot, this space is a private retreat from the rest of the world. A brick fireplace sits at the far end, waiting for snowy nights with a warm fire. A stretch of custom bookshelves with built-in seating below lines the longest wall, offering plenty of space for guests. This room is the heart of the house and offers a magnificent space for dining and entertaining. Virtually unchanged from the day it was designed, this room feels inexplicably modern and elegant at the same time. The kitchen is right next to the living room. Corian countertops, tasteful stainless-steel appliances and recently refinished cabinets keep the Mid-century feel of the home. The kitchen has a built-in buffet with shelving next to an eat-in area. A door at this end opens to the laundry room and pantry space. A wood-lined hallway leads to the coziest office space where a skylight lets sunlight pour into the room. A built-in window seat looks onto the back yard. A full bathroom with a bidet and Mid-century lighting is Jack and Jill style, allowing access from the primary bedroom. The bedroom has sliding doors that lead to a private balcony and a giant double closet. Back down on the entry level, the floorplan mirrors the second story. A large bedroom has entry to a full bathroom, and a smaller bedroom is off of the hallway. This smaller bedroom has a giant closet for storage. This level walks out to the garage and to the coolest covered patio. The two-car garage has built-in storage closets lining the back of the garage.
