REED HOUSE

2,500 Square Feet | 3 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms | 26.4 Acres

The Reed House was designed in response to the natural surroundings. Sited adjacent to a spring-fed pond with banks dotted with cattails, the house echoes the reed-like lines with the vertical cladding and natural materials. The three bedroom, two and a half bathroom house is sited among woodlands and pastures, offering privacy as well as views to the historic farmland beyond. The home will be built with sustainable building techniques including a Superior Walls foundation and modular construction along with geothermal heating and cooling. The home is designed to take advantage of the preserved natural setting with indoor-outdoor living with walls of windows opening to views of nature as well as an expansive deck.

The entrance to the residence is via a central courtyard created by the multiple structures of the house, including a 2-bay garage. The separated volumes offer privacy to the master suite and bedroom areas and are connected via a linear glass breezeway, creating a dramatic interior element. Features include oak hardwood flooring throughout, an open plan living, kitchen and dining space complete with custom Italian cabinetry, Miele appliances, and a wood burning fireplace. The master suite includes a walk-in closet, freestanding tub surrounded with artistic porcelain tile, walk-in luxury shower opening up to a private outdoor shower.
