They just don't build houses like this anymore. Set on 6.75 rolling acres in Twin Lakes, this remarkably preserved 1956 midcentury home is filled with the kind of craftsmanship, materials and architectural character that make you stop and look twice.
Step into the soaring two-story entry and the house immediately reveals what makes it special: solid wood floors and millwork, beautiful natural stone, dramatic expanses of glass and details that have survived remarkably intact. At the heart of it all, a massive two-story stone fireplace wall runs through the center of the home—part sculpture, part architecture, and completely unforgettable.
The house was designed to live with its surroundings. Walls of windows frame the landscape like artwork, bringing in incredible natural light and views across the rolling acreage. Inside, the rooms feel spacious without losing their warmth, with original wood, stone and craftsmanship giving the home a character that simply can't be recreated with today's finishes.
The home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and 2,481 square feet above grade, with additional finished space below. It has been exceptionally well cared for and retains an extraordinary amount of its original midcentury character. We've included several virtually staged photos to help show just how incredible these spaces could be while allowing the home's architecture to remain the star.
Outside, broad lawns roll toward the woods, offering privacy, room to roam and beautiful views in nearly every direction. Private lake access rights nearby add the finishing touch to a setting that offers acreage, nature and the Twin Lakes lifestyle all at once.
This isn't a house that was renovated to look midcentury. It's the real thing—and it's ready for someone who understands just how special that is.
