Listing broker remarks

This architecturally significant Mid-Century home blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Soaring ceilings and walls of glass create a remarkable sense of light and connection to nature. An open floor plan showcases warm, richly toned hardwood floors. A striking stone fireplace creates a captivating focal point. Glass doors lead to an expansive deck overlooking the beautiful surrounding countryside. An effortless flow continues into a designer kitchen and dining area. A private home office and a 1st floor primary with en suite has direct access to a lovely screened-in porch. The walk-out lower level features a grand family room with a commanding fireplace that accompanies 3 generously sized bedrooms each with a full bath. A stone patio with a fire pit and fountain complement the naturally landscaped grounds. This unique contemporary is located in one of Wayland's most cherished Claypit Hill neighborhoods while offering convenient access to major commuting routes.— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
