Nestled into a clearing in a pine forest, this 9± acre custom-designed Contemporary residence is an unexpected retreat at the end of a long drive. An extraordinarily functional work of art, the house was designed by Actwo Architects (formerly Andrew Cohen Architects) with the input of the current owners and executed by Merz construction. The design accomplishes the goal of combining entertaining spaces for large parties with intimate spaces for the homeowners. Interior and exterior courtyards, walls of glass, decks and skylights come together to create a floor plan that takes advantage of the outdoors in every part of the house. Currently configured as a three-bedroom residence, the house boasts two spacious offices that could be converted into two more bedrooms, if desired, as the septic system is designed for six bedrooms. The master suite can be closed off from the rest of the house and includes his and hers closets and dressing rooms, cedar closets, and separate water closets. A sleeping porch with retractable screens is available off the master. The entertaining spaces, kitchen and family room on the main floor flow beautifully and each has direct access to the outdoors. The house was built with eco-friendly features such as bamboo and Ipe flooring, geothermal wells for heating and conduits in place for future solar adaptation. Other surprises include a third floor spa and gym, a three-car garage with a hangar-style garage door, an outdoor fireplace, outdoor shower and additional storage garage under the parking court. This property is an unmistakable triumph of contemporary design.
