In close proximity to the charmingly chic villages of New Preston, Washington and Kent, this modern house was designed with the aesthetic inspired by a classic American barn. The home was built in 2022 by the current owner, a well-known designer, and sited to offer panoramic views of the surrounding country landscape and rolling hills.
“The home is ideal for anyone who appreciates modern, clean design,” says real estate agent Pels A. Matthews, broker with William Raveis Lifestyles Realty in Washington Depot, CT.
Interiors are open with lots of natural light, large windows and gracious room scale. “Pictures don’t reveal the beauty of the views to the west, the ease as which one transitions from one room to the next, and the amazing light this house provides,” says Matthews.
Energy efficiency, solar power generation and perfectly positioned to draw the warmth of sunlight in the winter and keep things cool in the summer, the home is designed to provide a comfortable climate year-round. Radiant flooring, a standing seam metal roof, custom cabinetry and top-of-the line appliances contribute to the home’s efficiency and comfort.
Interiors are spacious and open, with oak paneling in the great room, soaring ceilings, a long window seat for enjoying morning coffee or a game of cards, and large sliders to an outdoor deck. The home has multiple outdoor decks and a screened-in porch for taking in the views of rolling hills beyond. “The screened-in porch is always personally one of my favorite spaces,” says Matthews. The primary bedroom has an en suite bath with large walk-in shower and soaking tub, a walk-in closet and private deck overlooking the pool.
Downstairs, a media room, laundry and an en suite bed and bathroom, provide lots of space to stay indoors on a snow day. More unfinished space on the lower level and a separate two-car garage provide additional storage.
Outside, a 60-foot heated gunite lap pool with patio is elegantly positioned on the tiered lawn. “The whole property overlooks grasslands and wetland forests and offers remarkable sunsets,” says Matthews. “Everything is completely turn-key and low maintenance and its proximity to Lake Waramaug and New Preston makes it quite an attractive location.”
