390 Cognewaugh Rd, Cos Cob, CT 06807

Mid-century modern fans take note! First time ever on the market, this minimalist beauty was owned and designed by a student of the great mid-century architect Philip Johnson (of Glass House fame). Sited to take best advantage of the magnificent peaceful pond setting, this is a perfect oasis from hectic everyday life conveniently located in Cos Cob, under an hour from Manhattan! Similar to the Glass House, it was intentionally designed to be a part of its environment and to allow the experience of living in nature. A perfect weekend retreat in all seasons, the great room wall of windows/sliders provides captivating views to ease you into de-stress mode. A wonderful indoor/outdoor entertaining layout with the stunning pond as a constant backdrop. With three bedrooms and three full Scandinavian-style bathrooms, your weekend guests will be comfortable and have their own space. For those looking for more living space, the one-acre property would allow expansion while still maintaining the integrity of the design.

The four properties with pond access have an informal agreement to share pond maintenance costs. The cost for 390 Cognewaugh Road is $1,227/year, pond fountains were installed in 2020 (in both upper and lower ponds). The property has had numerous updates within the past few years, including replacement of cedar shingle roof treated with substance to extend its life, painted exterior and interior of house, replaced gas-fired furnace and added central air conditioning, replaced water heater, replaced well pump, installed bamboo flooring in living and dining rooms, installed porcelain tile flooring in kitchen and master bedroom.
