Property Description
An original midcentury modern built in 1955 and designed by Edward Lloyd Flood, an architect employed by Edward Durrell Stone, allegedly a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. These are the 2nd owners in 66 years! Many aspects built into the home were revolutionary and cutting edge at the time including radiant heat, poured concrete floors, passive solar, and walls of glass. Built as a single-story home, the focus was to create a space that felt as though you were protected by the elements yet still living in the dramatic beauty of the surrounding wooded area. Large overhangs surround the 12 floor-to-ceiling windows and 13 glass doors (every room has a doorway and stunning view to the great outdoors), that give you unobstructed views to the outside – it's picture perfect for your viewing pleasure. Radiant floor heating throughout provides a gentle warmth to the floor. The back-to-back insert woodstoves set into the large see-through fireplace (living room to a cozy reading room), create a nostalgic and homey feeling. Exposed western cedar beams are in every room of the house. Double French doorways from almost every room, lead to outside gardens and patios. Open the doors for a cross breeze. Two sides of the property border the untouched (+ untouchable) Aquarion Watershed property. Devil's Den Nature Preserve (the largest tract of protected land in Fairfield County), and hiking trails can be reached from your front door with ease. 65 miles to mid Manhattan. See attached video.
