WATERFRONT MID CENTURY MODERN!
Beautifully nestled at a gentle bend in the Saugatuck River, 46 Valley Forge Rd in Weston, CT is a mid-century modern lover's dream! This gorgeously renovated home with separate cottage is sited on 2 meticulously landscaped acres with over 300' of river frontage, in a bucolic setting designed for relaxation and contemplation.

Inside, find a sun-flooded open plan with generous living room anchored by a dramatic fireplace; chef's kitchen with a wall of windows; luxe powder room; serene primary bedroom with ensuite spa bath and dressing room, and a smart office/4th bedroom. Downstairs is an ample and inviting family room with woodburning fireplace and breezeway-adjacent mudroom, renovated full bath, and two additional bedrooms. The lower level offers direct access to the slate patios, lawn, cottage and river just beyond, effortlessly breaking the plane that separates inside from out.

Originally built in 1967 as a deckhouse, the home has been dramatically reimagined, with the expansion of the kitchen and dining room, an enormous elevated deck with 2 car garage and breezeway below, a generous bath and dressing room off the primary, and a windowed home gym. The result of this architectural reimagining? A sophisticated modernist house, in which the second level appears to 'float' over the first, thanks to the ribbon of clerestory windows below. A stunning home in a magical setting, 46 Valley Forge Rd is the ultimate weekend retreat or inspiring full time residence.
