About This Home

As of August 2025

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. Private cul-de-sac; 5 min to I695, 10 min to Towson shops, 15 min to wineries—trails just 0.25 mi away!

This 1971 Acorn Deck House is an exceptional property that offers a unique combination of luxury,
style, and comfort. If you're looking for a spacious and elegant home in a tranquil setting, this is the
perfect property for you.
