“Meadows have surprises, you can find them if you look; Walk softly through the velvet grass, and listen by the brook.” Eleven acres of lush meadow surround this architecturally stunning, white barnlike, redwood structure. The design was the inspiration of world-renowned neo-modernist architect, Richard Meier. Beinfield Wagner Architects of South Norwalk drew up the plans that won them an American Institute of Architects Connecticut Design Award. Step inside the house and you'll delight in the floor to ceiling windows that bring in the natural light and beauty of the meadow. Beyond the trees you can catch a peak at nearby Whalebone Cove. The marble hearth at the fireplace evokes warmth on a blustery day. The open floor plan allows an abundance of room for both living and dining. A study with built-ins, the kitchen and a half bath round out the first floor. All three bedrooms are on the second floor. The master suite includes a bedroom with balcony, walk-in closet/dressing room and a full bathroom. There are hardwood floors and 10 foot ceilings throughout. There’s plenty of space for an artist’s studio or workout/playroom on the lower level. The two car garage houses the propane generator. You will relish the privacy and tranquility. There is water access to Selden Cove with plenty of hiking and riding trails nearby. Just off Joshuatown Road, this one of a kind property is midway between New York City and Boston.
