Waterfront! This stunning modernist gem is perfectly placed to frame the ever-changing views of Still Pond Creek and the surrounding woodlands. Invite the gang, because with 223 feet of shoreline, a sandy beach, a private pier, a heated indoor pool, an open floor plan with a big deck and 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths on 2.26 acres, there’s room for everyone and plenty to do! Sail, waterski, wakeboard, paddle, fish, or swim from the private dock with floating sections big enough for sunbathing or a crab feast. A short boat ride gets you to the Station Park Beach and the Chesapeake Bay! 4'+/- MLW (buyer to verify), high ground, not in flood plain.
Walls of glass, soaring ceilings, rich natural elements including massive mahogany beams, tongue & groove cedar ceilings, earthy terra cotta, and plenty of natural light feel like a warm hug from a home that loves you back. Indeed, this is the first time this home is available on the market since the owners built it. It's a wonderful way to live! The open spaces, private places, cozy nooks, and overlooks combine and flow to support both lively conversation and quiet concentration. Surround yourself with these timeless design features that bring nature in while providing complete comfort and privacy. This home has authentic Mid-Century-Modern provenance! It was custom designed for this site and this owner by the original esteemed Deck House Company (“The Eichler of the East”) It was precision fabricated to custom specifications at the Deck House workshop in Acton, Massachusetts, and stick built with post and beam construction on site by a local builder in 1993.
In addition to the 5 bedrooms (primary bedroom on main floor, two on upper, two on lower levels) there is a dedicated library/office on the main floor and on the lower level, there is a large sunlit studio with imported terra cotta tiles currently housing the owners looms and textile art. The basement is partially above grade with windows and a ground level walk-out just a few steps to the pool house, stairs up to the deck, or down to the waterfront. It’s a very livable layout and quite versatile. The unfinished part of the basement has two large storage rooms and a huge workshop with a window toward Still Pond Creek.
