Listing broker remarks

Set back off the road on a private acre of land, this midcentury-modern home has remained in the same family for whom it was custom-built. A 2001-built addition — with its own entrance, a bedroom, a full bath, a living room, and a kitchen — offers perfect ADU, inter-generational, au pair, or studio space. The original house features a huge open-concept eat-in kitchen-family room area, while the living room is centered on a fireplace and shares an open plan with the dining room. A mudroom with a laundry area connects the original house and the addition. Three generously sized bedrooms and a third full bath are located upstairs, featuring cathedral ceilings and large windows that fill the home with shaded natural light. Part of the wonderful Turning Mill area, with bonded membership in the neighborhood Paint Rock swimming pool, and super close to the highly respected Estabrook School. You’ll feel like you're vacationing at home! Designed by pioneering architect Carl Koch for Techbuilt.— Compass
