Anchored into a hillside, this three level Mid Century Marvel is proof that two things can be true at the same time, as it both blends into, and stands out in, the surrounding natural habitat of native plants and massive rocks sculpted by a long-forgotten glacier. This property in North Greenwich is truly one of a kind, designed and built by the visionary artist and architect Norman Hoberman, it is filled with light and creativity to stimulate the mind and soul. With 4,670 SF set on 5.6 acres, the open floor plan showcases the outdoors, and can work for almost every lifestyle, both personal and professional. Enjoy the radiant-heated slate floors, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and a brick, wood-burning fireplace in the living room. The bright, eat-in kitchen has been lovingly restored, completed with new appliances and opens to gardens with steps to a brick patio ideal for gatherings. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms with freshly refinished oak floors, two large skylights, ample built-in storage, two full bathrooms and a large family room. Great potential is found in the two large (formerly artist's studios) for a home office with separate entrance, creative hobbies, health activities, in-law or au-pair living space, plus a third-level home office drenched in natural light. Updates include roof, whole house generator, flooring, freshly painted interior, updated leaching fields, new air handler(middle floor), new AC condenser and the exterior will be painted next month.
Architectural features and artistic inspiration abound in this natural haven. Down the path from the home, an outbuilding with electricity, water and gray water bathroom, a man-made swimming pond await you. Take a moment to appreciate the well-established landscaping on the path down.

A mid-century modern masterpiece, this three-story, 4670 SF house is set on 5.5 wooded acres, with dramatic views of landscaped forest, native meadow, & spring fed pond. Designed by renowned architect and sculptor Norman Hoberman, the house was the family residence for over 60 years. Together with his wife, noted children’s poet Mary Ann Hoberman, Hoberman found myriad ways to integrate architecture with the natural environment. Multiple terraces, a balcony, meandering hillside woodland paths, mature gardens & native grasses – there are vistas & intimate spaces in every direction. Located in semi-rural North Greenwich, the property includes working sheds, a barn with a loft & Finnish cedar sauna. Inside, the open floor plan boasts radiant-heated slate floors, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and an elegant brick fireplace. From the light-filled, spacious kitchen, walk out to gardens and a brick terrace, perfect for gatherings. Upstairs, three bedrooms with original oak floors and generous built-in storage await, along with well-maintained bathrooms with original tiles and fixtures. The property also offers two expansive artist studios for creative pursuits, and a third level home office drenched in natural light. Every detail of the house & landscape works together to form an integrated whole, creating a serene oasis of thoughtful & innovative design. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of architectural & creative history in this natural haven.
