Property Description
Celebrating more than a half century of thoughtful design, this architect-designed 1974 Contemporary remains as relevant today as when it was first built. Rooted in simplicity and filled with extraordinary natural light, the home feels both timeless and authentic. Soaring wood-planked ceilings with exposed beams add warmth and architectural drama, while an extraordinary 48 windows create a remarkable connection to the outdoors.Walls painted in a warm museum white create a soft, ever-changing canvas throughout the day as sunlight pours through expansive windows, shifting gently from creamy morning light to afternoon warmth. The interiors are intentionally simple and neutral, allowing the surrounding landscape and natural light to take center stage. With 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a versatile loft, the home offers an open, airy layout that feels uncomplicated and grounded, with a seamless dialogue between indoors and out. Framed by mature trees and thoughtfully tended gardens, the private, partially wooded property offers serenity and a true sense of retreat—a place where light, simplicity, nature, and design come together in quiet harmony. Peaceful and private, yet conveniently located close to town and major routes, this distinctive home offers a rare combination of architectural character, natural beauty, and accessibility. The property is being sold as-is. Open house on Saturday, Sep 12 and Sunday, Sep 13
