From the Agent: "This midcentury home on a spacious, wooded lot has undergone a recent, designer-led remodel. Think luxe, natural, and handmade materials for a Euro-inspired look, accented by pops of pattern in the bathrooms. Completed by Twyne Design, the renovation is informed by a global spirit: a serene, curated backdrop ready for your own collections and travel mementos, and a soothing place to return thanks to its location. The natural setting also inspired the remodel, as large picture windows frame forest views, and material choices, like steel, white oak, and handmade Clé Tile, underpin its connection to nature. Select midcentury characteristics remain, while the roof, mechanical systems, and layout were all updated for modern living."
The home now features a sleek, black exterior that helps it blend into its natural setting.
