Acreage & architecturally distinctive contemporary home nestled among mature trees, featuring bold geometric lines, concrete block construction, and expansive windows framing wooded views. Designed and built by noted designer Thomas Reilly—who personally resided in the home—this property reflects exceptional craftsmanship and recognized architectural significance. Multi-level decks, soaring ceilings, and a striking spiral staircase create visual interest, while warm wood accents balance the modern design. Walls of glass connect indoor and outdoor living, filling the home with natural light and offering peaceful treetop views from nearly every room. The unique layout provides inviting gathering spaces alongside a dedicated piano room for creativity or quiet retreat. Custom built-ins enhance both function and design continuity. Outside, expansive decks and terraces offer ideal spaces for relaxing and entertaining. A reclaimed wood accent wall—reportedly sourced from a historic pirate ship—adds character and conversation. Add'l storage beneath the carport/drive adds practical value. The hillside setting provides privacy while remaining conveniently located. A truly one-of-a-kind property blending design, comfort, and nature with multiple gathering spaces that feel both open and inviting, the home celebrates its natural surroundings
