Description
This extraordinary home was built in 1940 by a couple who sailed to England on the Queen Mary for their honeymoon. Inspired by the elegance and modernity of the ship, they sought to infuse their home with the same glamour, resulting in a striking blend of nautical design and Modernist architecture. The sunken living room boasts large glass windows, gleaming hardwood floors, and an exquisite fireplace adorned with a large mirror. The library features a round porthole-inspired fireplace, built-ins, blonde wood paneling, and glass brick accents. The expansive kitchen includes a breakfast bar, cozy dining nook, and both a butlers pantry and cooks pantry leading to the formal dining room with outdoor views. Upstairs, the red staircase leads to the ensuite primary bedroom, three additional bedrooms, and a dramatic sun porch that spans the full width of the house, offering tree-top views. On the ground floor, discover a whimsical wet bar complete with brass portholes, a ships bell, a heated garage, utility area, half bath, and laundry. Ideally located on a side private street in a wonderful sought after neighborhood yet close to downtown Brattleboro, known for its thriving arts scene, great restaurants, and eclectic shops, this home offers easy access to year-round attractions. Just a short drive from top ski resorts and outdoor recreation, its also conveniently located within hours of both New York City and Boston, making it perfect for a weekend escape or full-time residence.
