Built in 1963 by renowned architect Edmund London, the Robinson Residence is a modern pavilion-style haven featuring soaring peaked ceilings, thoughtfully separated sleeping areas, and expansive, deep roof overhangs that naturally cool the interiors in summer while allowing sunlight to warm the space during winter.
The home showcases newer floor-to-ceiling windows and clerestories that flood the interiors with natural light, complemented by custom milled solid wide plank white oak flooring throughout. A striking travertine fireplace adds to the warmth and character of the living spaces.
Enjoy outdoor living with a covered back terrace and patio, complete with a newer gas grill, and an open-air cantilevered deck overlooking lush woods and river. The primary bedroom suite boasts terrace access, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring penny tile flooring, a luxurious soaker tub, and waterfall shower.
The kitchen is perfect for both casual and formal dining, with ample cabinetry, quartz countertops, open steel shelving, and a pantry for storage. Modern mechanical systems include a newer furnace, air conditioning, humidifier, and water heater. The lower level offers a two-car tuck-under garage, a spacious laundry room, a great room, additional bath, and abundant storage throughout.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a unique piece of architectural history—an idyllic blend of modern design, natural beauty, and timeless elegance.
