Home of the Week: Contemporary Home on a Historic Road

The journey to this stunning Weston contemporary is almost just as enjoyable as the physical tour. A picturesque ride down Rte. 117 and then down historic Whitney Tavern Rd., leads the way to number 36 through a winding driveway that opens into nearly an acre and a half of estate-like grounds. Once cleared of the admirable, the landscape, the notable impact continues with the level of casual elegance found within over 2,300 square feet of living space. Clean lines, parquet flooring, soaring ceilings, natural fibers and walls of glass maintain the integrity of its architectural era while many updates and renovations uphold its up-to-date amenities and conveniences.

Immediately noticeable upon entry is the spacious, open floor plan that seamlessly unites the three common living and entertaining rooms. The 18 x 25 square foot fireplaced living room is both a physically and visually large space with its generous dimensions, vaulted ceiling and wall of windows that overlooks the scenic landscape. That high ceiling stretches into the neighboring 16 x 12 square foot dining area, large enough to comfortably seat eight and includes a slider to a large deck for refreshing al fresco dining. The 9 x 20 square foot kitchen is equipped with upgraded cabinetry and an abundance of counter space and overlooks the dining area to easily unite hosts and their guests while entertaining.

The three bedrooms also offer liberal measurements, beginning with the 24 x 15 square foot master suite that includes a walk-in closet with custom cabinets and a full, private bath. The two remaining bedrooms comfortably come in at 10 x 15 and 11 x 10 square feet and include ample storage and built-ins. The newly finished lower level boosts not only the gross footprint of this home but also is versatility with an oversized 18 x 36 square foot room that steps out to a bluestone patio.

The surrounding one and a half acre countryside contains mature greenery and lush perennials providing breathtaking year-round views which are enhanced and supported with a garden, decorative lighting, deck, patio, sprinkler system and invisible fence.

Old meets new with the eclectic blend of this historical neighborhood with a contemporary home readily available to meet the needs of its next fortunate owners.
