About This Home

As of December 2013

THE ISLAND HOUSE is an iconic Mid-Century modern designed by artist/sculptor/architect Bimel Kehm. Renovated and restored without significant alteration to the original design, the new materials, appliances and pale earth tone finishes bristle with good taste and quality. The public rooms have an open floor plan, soaring 12 foot ceilings and massive floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bluestone terrace and the gunite pool at the water’s edge. GORGEOUS, PRACTICAL AND SIGNIFICANT
