"Supernatural" best describes this c.1957 paragon of Mid-Century Modern design. Nestled on 36+ super-natural acres of idyllic, pristine woodland. A palpable sense of solitude, combined with commanding CT River Valley water views, serves to inspire enchantment. Designed by noted architect Ulrich Franzen, who studied under Walter Gropius at Harvard, alongside fellow students Philip Johnson and I M Pei. Franzen was inspired by ancient Japanese Pavilions to create a place meant to liberate the soul. The house defies gravity in a most supernatural way. The cedar-clad ceiling seemingly floats, suspended mid-air, providing an umbrella that soars above walls of glass. Offered for only the second time in sixty-three years, this house stands as a testament to great design and careful stewardship. Thoughtful kitchen and bathroom updates and a compatible garage are recent improvements made with Franzen's design aesthetic in mind. The result is a seamless renovation and further modernization of an iconic architectural landmark. This home truly transcends brick and mortar. It is a nexus of art and dwelling. A place where the art of living well may be practiced in relaxed comfort and style. Located minutes from quaint Essex village, where historic homes cozily coexist with shops, restaurants, marinas, yacht clubs and the CT River. Essex is set midway between Boston and New York City. Tour this Shangri-La before like magic - poof! - it's gone.
