About this home

Forget your cookie cutters—this house is as unique as you are! A custom home designed by local architect James C. Hestand, it was ahead of its time when built in 1975 and still presents as contemporary. Oversized picture windows frame this home’s south shore views and skylights let in even more natural light and invite stargazing on clear nights. From the living area, kitchen and office on the main level, a custom spiral staircase leads to bedrooms on the lower level and a multi-use upstairs loft. Architecturally captivating with vaulted ceilings, a distinctive large circular window feature, a wood-burning fireplace and a Redwood Japanese Ofuro soaking tub in a Zen garden setting. This house is like no other!
