About This Home
A remarkable blend of architecture, nature, and modern comfort, this modernist custom home offers a living experience unlike any other. Nestled within a private and serene setting, the property is surrounded by natural beauty, where meandering streams feed a tranquil pond that spills into a cascading waterfall before winding through the marshlands toward the Connecticut River. The setting is both peaceful and inspiring, with gorgeous water views enhancing the landscape. The approach to the home is an experience. A charming, covered bridge connects the detached two-car garage to the main residence, crossing over the stream and pond below. The property reflects thoughtful design and a deep connection to its natural surroundings. Extensively renovated over the years, the home combines artistic character with modern efficiency. Recent updates include a brand-new Viessmann boiler, freshly painted exterior, newly paved driveway completed in 2024, new IPE upper deck, and a septic system replacement in 2010. Radiant heated floors provide year-round comfort, while the beautifully renovated kitchen and baths showcase quality craftsmanship and timeless design. The sun-filled main level offers an open and inviting floor plan ideal for both everyday living and entertainment. The dining area, with its wall of windows, provides stunning year-round river views. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with a stunning spa-inspired bathroom featuring distinctive fixtures & finishes.
