Expansive windows, beamed ceilings and an incredible 1.3 acre setting make the renovation of this mid-century house designed by John Strassenburgh with enhancements by noted architect Phil Holt, an exciting undertaking. Nestled in an enclave of three mid-century modern houses, including Mr Holt’s former personal residence, which is well on its way to being fully renovated and expanded with a dynamic addition in keeping with its time period. The other, also a Strassenburgh design, is the epitome of the indoor / outdoor lifestyle concept. Abutting Landfall, a magnificent estate once owned by the Roebling family, the house for sale is chaste in design. Strong horizontal lines, smooth surfaces punctuated by rectangular windows and featuring a covered, brick walkway providing cover to the double carport off the circular driveway. Mature landscaping softens the effect and the overall presentation is intriguing and inviting. The interior is quite spacious with five bedrooms spread out on two levels and a kitchen that rivals the square footage of those found in newly constructed houses. The striking living room, where the simplicity of the fireplace, combined with wood walls and private views of greenery conjure mountain getaway vibes. The separate dining room, also with fireplace, shares the same aesthetic but also opens to one of two decks that step down to a stone patio. While the entire property is presented strictly as-is, the pool could once again become an asset that enhances the view and furthers the vacation-at-home experience. Wide windows, two fireplaces and a pleasant full bath make the walk-out lower level great space. This property truly has all the building blocks of a mid-century modern showplace.
