OFFERS BY SUNDAY, 7/13 @ 6:00pm! ___ Mid-century modern! Why settle for ordinary when you could be living in this architectural beauty perfect for artists and poets and anyone who'd rather be outdoors than in, which is precisely what Harvard architect Carl Koch designed this TechBuilt home for: clean minimalist lines, flexible modular construction & maximum natural light! This home has cared for the same family since 1957, most recently an artist inspired by its lovely views of 1.5 acres of natural splendor through exceptionally large windows. She painted year-round in the bright & spacious studio w/mini-split heating/cooling that adjoins the 2-car garage. It would also make a superb home office, private retreat or simply additional storage space. Large rooms & an open floorplan make this home fabulous for entertaining! Main level includes kitchen, ample dining room, family room w/woodstove, large den & sunroom. Upstairs is the primary ensuite bedroom w/ a stunning wall of glass, fireplace & deck, plus 3 more bedrooms with skylights. Freshly painted throughout! Conveniently located on a small, quiet cul-de-sac that backs to Town forest, it's a woodland sanctuary alive with birdsong thanks to its level, meadow-like back yard. Beautiful in every season and protected by a whole house automatic propane generator for when the weather turns stormy. Brand new Roth oil tank; custom shed w/electricity! Come put your personal stamp on this sophisticated contemporary! Seeded area in yard is from removal of a buried oil tank just before showings started (permitting in process with the Town) and Seller will have the red fuel line (in the den) from the new tank boxed in prior to closing. Shed has electricity. Town records show this home as having 1,685 s.f. with an additional 1,228 sf in the lower level for a total of 2,910 sf of heated living area. These numbers appear to be reversed by the town. Walking through, you will notice the lower level is clearly larger than the bedroom level upstairs. That's because the sunroom and large dining room were added on after the home was built. When the home was professionally appraised two years ago, the appraiser valued the full 2,910 sf as living space. He said that unlike a raised ranch, the "lower level" contains the entire main living area (kitchen, dining room, family room, and den), which is not at all like the layout of a "raised ranch." In the dining room, part of the floor is stone. This is because there used to be some sort of woodstove or similar appliance there. The wall behind it is some sort of fireboard, required for heating stoves. The 2 large propane tanks behind the studio are for the whole house generator; there is a smaller 3rd tank outside the main house for the Wolf gas cooktop in the kitchen.
