About the Home

Set atop a gorgeous sloping, tree-lined property, complete with a sun-drenched pool and cabana, 17 Richmond Hill Rd is a true mid-century modern oasis. Originally built in 1956, the three-bedroom, two-bath home boasts all the hallmarks of the era. The main living space, centered around a Breuer-esque stone fireplace, boasts dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the line between inside and outside, giving the overall effect of being in a modernist treehouse. Recent updates include central cooling and heat, as well as period-correct built-ins in both the guest room and media room. The house is situated on 2 beautifully landscaped acres surrounded on all sides by oaks, elms and spruce, and accented by mature rhododendrons, azaleas and mountain laurel. A massive patio off the kitchen and living room overlooks the yard and pool, and is set atop a gorgeous natural stone wall. Follow the charming stone path from the patio down to the gunite pool, complete with a cabana bar that's perfect for entertaining, or take in the view from the large primary bedroom with en-suite bath, where you'll find a sun-dappled private deck. A stunning jewelbox of a home situated on a pristine piece of property, 17 Richmond Hill is the perfect oasis for those looking for a weekend escape or a stunning full-time residence.
