Property Description
Welcome to this exquisite 1971 Acorn Deck House. This mid-century modern-inspired Deck House sits on a private one-acre wooded lot backing to parkland above the Loch Raven Reservoir. The post- and-beam home has been a complete top to bottom custom renovation by its Architect owner, who has meticulously restored and maintained the home and is now proud to present it to the market. Deck House as a company was founded in 1959 by William Berkes and Robert Brownell. Both worked as young architects focused on building prefab Tech-built houses; this was the beginning of the Mid-Century modern movement. Modern technology combined with the organic principals to live in harmony with nature as envisioned by Frank LLoyd Wright gave birth to the Deckhouse. The company, still in existence in Acton Massachusetts as Acorn Deck House, describes the design this way: ”Deck House offers an efficient post and beam building system with exposed structure, making a powerful statement of beauty, strength and function. Floor to ceiling glass frames connect with the natural environment to create a feeling of living in the outdoors. Interior spaces flow freely, accented by a rich combination of natural woods. Deck House is a quiet statement about one’s own self-confidence – a home of relaxed elegance in perfect harmony with the natural world, inside and out.” With 3300 square feet of living space spread across two levels of architectural excellence, offering three bedrooms and two fully renovated bathrooms, this property offers the perfect combination of style, space, and comfort. As you step inside, you’ll be impressed by the incredible build quality and attention to detail that’s evident throughout the home. The exposed beams, cedar roof deck, and solid mahogany doors and windows are a hallmark feature of the Acorn Deck House; together they add to the sense of grandeur and sophistication. The large windows invite natural light to flood the space, creating a bright and airy ambiance. The design emphasizes the connection to nature; every wall has expansive open glass walls that overlook into the forest of tall red oak, white oak, hickory, and tulip poplar trees. The change of seasons become the walls -natures art that make this home truly integrated inside and out. The tastefully decorated interior boasts clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic that perfectly complements the mid-century modern architecture. The open-plan living areas are perfect for entertaining guests or spending time with your family, while two cozy fireplaces creates a warm and inviting atmosphere on chilly evenings. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, an entertaining island, and ample storage space, making meal preparation a breeze. There is also a side coffee and cocktail prep area with eat-in breakfast table; this leads you to your outdoor dining room right off of the kitchen, with easy access to your outdoor grill. This is an entertainment gem. The bedrooms offer plenty of privacy and relaxation, while the recently updated bathrooms boast luxurious finishes and fixtures including features like a soaking whirlpool overlooking the gardens that exudes sophistication. Custom tile and wallcoverings accent walls to warm the interior architecture. Outside, you’ll find a serene and peaceful setting, multi-level garden spaces and decks are nestled among the trees and mature azaleas’, where you can relax and unwind while enjoying the natural beauty that surrounds you. Each side of the house has custom designed deck spaces where the entire family can find a place to enjoy alone time or large gatherings.
