Built in 1962, this Mid Century Masterpiece stands the test of time! Designed by renowned Chinese architect King-lui Wu, it has remained untouched and today is an excellent example of this much sought after vernacular. Sited on over 8 beautiful acres with a private shared drive, this home borders the Rams Head Creek out to the Connecticut River, an ideal place for kayaking and other aquatic activities. The reception foyer with parquet floors and stationary glass panels greet guests and leads to the stunning living room. Transoms lights and banks of glass panels flood the well proportioned room in sunlight and bring the natural surroundings in. In cooler weather, the fireplace warms the space and in summer months, the covered terrace is the place for relaxing. The dining room with parquet floors has a wall of closets which provide exceptional storage of dishes and the galley kitchen is efficiently laid out. The bedroom wing is also off the reception foyer and runs parallel to the water. Two bedrooms each have their own bath and and enjoy over sized windows and original wood moldings. In a separate building, a family room with builtin bookcases and full bath is perfect as guest quarters or a residential office. An artists studio/ workshop with a garage under will delight anyone with a passion for creativity. While the home retains its original appointments, some of the mechanicals have been updated. This architectural gem will delight all who visit.
