About this home

Set on 1.32 private acres along sought-after scenic Pope Road, this custom-designed mid-century modern home pairs distinctive architecture with an exceptional connection to its natural surroundings.

The open kitchen and sitting area feature a generous peninsula with seating for four, while the family room offers a wood-burning fireplace and walls of glass overlooking the surrounding landscape. Architectural details continue throughout, including dramatic ceiling heights in all four bedrooms and thoughtfully selected finishes that reinforce the home’s custom character.The kitchen and dining areas open directly to a deck and bluestone patio, creating a natural extension of the living space for entertaining, dining outdoors, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting.
