Some houses have a beautiful setting. This one makes the setting part of the experience.
Set on nearly five acres in Walden Woods, this Mid-Century Modern home uses expansive windows, a curved wood-vaulted great room and a two-story solarium to keep the landscape in constant conversation with the interiors. The relationship changes with the seasons - from spring blooms viewed through the solarium to summer afternoons at the saltwater pool, and winter evenings spent fireside as snow settles beyond the glass.
There is an independent streak to the property, too. A cistern water system, filtration and purification, wood-burning furnace, and solar-ready, heat-harvesting solarium give the home an uncommon relationship with its resources. The original woodworking shop remains, along with multiple garages, a pool house and hot tub - spaces that invite projects, pursuits and time outdoors.
Inside, a 2023 custom kitchen and hardwood updates bring contemporary comfort while preserving the character of the original design. A main-level owner’s suite with heated bath floors adds another thoughtful touch, while the lower level - with its own exterior entrance - offers flexibility for guests, hobbies or additional living space.
It’s a home that makes a strong case for living a little differently: closer to nature, more connected to the seasons, and with the freedom to live independently and make the place your own.
