PRIVATE. ARCHITECTURAL. UNEXPECTED. Privately set on 4.9 wooded acres high above the surrounding landscape, 17 Deer Run is a one-of-a-kind custom contemporary offering exceptional scale, privacy and year-round resort-style living in Wayland. Floor-to-ceiling glass fills three expansive levels with natural light while capturing dramatic sunset views from an elevation of approximately 420 feet. At the heart of the residence is an extraordinary 20' × 60' heated indoor saltwater pool, overlooked by a mezzanine and surrounded by spaces designed for entertaining, recreation and relaxation. The flexible 10,007-square-foot floor plan offers four bedrooms, multiple living and gathering spaces, exterior access from each level and two fireplaces. Custom built by its original owner and meticulously maintained by the same family of builders, the property has never before been publicly offered for sale. A rare opportunity to experience architecture, acreage and amenities unlike anything else in Wayland. 4.9 acres includes a 60,600 s.f. conforming lot for possible ADU or Sale!— Carol Stewart
