This striking two story glass house on 2.49 acres is unsurpassed in minimalist elegance and modern comforts. Terrazzo floors, 10'6" ceilings, 2 skylights. Workshop, storage etc. Many updates in recent years include the master bath, heat/ac, garage roof, double ovens, cooktop, dishwasher. All curtains for the glass walls are included (not currently installed). Originally 5 bedrooms, now decorated as 3, plus 3 full baths. Very private, secluded wooded setting.
