Designed by Marcel Breuer and Walter Gropius in 1940, the Chamberlain Cottage is an iconic example of the Bauhaus movement. Its location at the edge of the Sudbury River - on 7.8ac of land - affords remarkable views of Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. Living in art best describes owning this architectural masterpiece. The home has been lovingly restored and provides an opportunity to own a bit of 20th century European and American architectural history. The extensive renovations/additions have been carried out with the utmost respect for the purity of style dictated by these two important architects. Some of the distinctive and rare features include copper wall coverings, stone and wood building materials, cork and cement flooring, indoor Koi pond and design that fuses modern living with its natural surroundings. The Chamberlain Cottage features Waldenesque privacy, a detached garage, two car ports and an artist's studio/office. Call for more details and a private showing.
