Midcentury modern 4-bedroom ranch set on a spectacular lot in a highly desirable location, 23 Alden Rd offers easy one-level living with an open, light-filled layout featuring walls of glass connecting the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Designed/built by Harry Axelrod, inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this home emphasizes indoor-outdoor living through large windows and built-ins, creating warm, flowing spaces centered by the living room's stone wood burning fireplace with insert and overlooking the stunning backyard—truly a gardener’s paradise. The tranquil, nature-inspired primary suite offers an en suite bath with serene views. A separate private den/office provides ideal work-from-home space. Additional highlights include a 2-car garage, owned solar panels, newer roof, windows, skylights, and central air/heat pump for excellent energy efficiency & low utility costs. Ideally located near downtown, Phillips Academy, Pike School, highways and the train. A must see home!
