A one-of-one, architect-led residence pairing timeless New England architecture with modern high-performance construction. This home was built as a fully realized home, not a speculative project. Every decision from proportion to materials, systems, and detailing was made to enhance daily living, long-term comfort, and architectural clarity. Behind its masonry exterior is a rigorously executed high-performance envelope featuring R-40+ walls, R-80 roof assembly, triple-glazed windows, and exceptional airtightness. A simplified, highly efficient heat pump system with balanced fresh-air ventilation delivers quiet, consistent comfort year-round. Interiors emphasize restraint and craftsmanship: white oak floors and ceilings, bespoke millwork, sculptural staircases, and carefully aligned transitions between plaster, wood, and stone. Natural light is intentional and controlled, evolving throughout the day. For buyers who value how a home feels as how it performs.
