About This Home

As of August 2025

Step into a masterpiece of organic architecture, designed by Arthur Carrara—renowned apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright. This exceptional home blends art and nature, with rich walnut accents and natural stone framing expansive picture windows that invite the outdoors in. Thoughtfully crafted built-ins—closets, beds, desks, and a custom buffet—reflect the timeless beauty of artisan woodwork throughout. Gather by the striking floor-to-ceiling fireplace or unwind in the cozy family room. With three bedrooms, a den, and a spacious basement, the home balances creativity with functionality. Nestled on nearly an acre, this one-of-a-kind property offers privacy, space, and serenity. A true architectural gem.
