About This Home
Hemlock Hill – designed by renowned modernist architect, James Howard Fox (1939-2017) and constructed in 1985 (photography by the architect’s grandson, Ryan Karcher).

This property offers a unique blend of privacy, acreage to expand, proximity to town and the creative legacy of one of the nation’s premier modernist architects. Whether you are looking for a private retreat, an income property or both, Hemlock Hill awaits.
