Description

Aptly named Redwood and Glass and designed by local architect and Wesleyan Professor of Art, John Martin, the home and outdoors truly become one! Shades of Frank Lloyd Wright in design and use of materials, redwood, glass and stone, the views from the open living/dining/kitchen areas are ever-changing with the seasons. High ceilings and walls of glass give a great feeling of space, inviting the outside in! Entertaining is easy with access to the wrap-around, 2-tiered decking from all the rooms across the back of the house. The walk-out lower level includes 2 additional bedrooms, shower/bath and den out to its own private deck a great in-law or teen situation! Privately set on 1.88 acres, the current owners have loved the convenience of this vibrant, university town midway between Hartford and New Haven, with its variety of international cuisines, museums, theaters, parks, and many other amenities. This could be your little piece of paradise!
