This modern mid-century home in beautiful Hopewell Valley had its beginning in the late 19th century as a “tenant” house on the neighboring farm. Since that time there have been 3 major additions/renovations resulting in this unique blend of mid-century design with expert craftsmanship. In 1956, Thomas Backes, renowned local architect and owner of the property, undertook a total redesign and renovation adding much needed rooms in what we recognize today as mid-century design. Subsequent additions in 1962 and 1989 stayed true to Backes’ vision and created additional living spaces with attention to materials and light creating a floor plan that flows seamlessly and a home that blends with its natural surroundings.

This 4 bedroom, 3 ½ bath home is spacious and beautifully maintained. Highlights include a shed/workshop with separate electric and heat and concrete floor, vaulted entryway, spacious and customized master suite, natural clear cedar wood soffits and paneling, a large slate floored 3-season ‘breezeway” room, multiple zone heating and cooling, trek decking, slate patio, separate concrete slab for motor home parking, circular drive and flowering mature landscaping all on a private lane with only 7 other homes.

This historic area boasts a multitude of parks and recreational areas for the outdoor enthusiast. In addition, major commuting arteries and transportation are all within easy distance. Privacy, functionality, community, and accessibility are the hallmarks of this home.
