Mid-Century Waterfront Home designed by Edgar Tafel (1 hr from NYC)

Posted by Mary C. Pugh at February 05. 2008

I am selling my Mid-Century Waterfront home in Norwalk, CT  (an hour drive from NYC.)        See virtual tour link for lots of pictures.                   

                                      Mid-century Waterfront Design meets 21st Century Luxury.

 5 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, 2 Fireplaces,
 Oversized lot .69 acre on the Water

Competitively priced at $1,399,900

This spectacular house was designed by
 
Edgar Tafel, apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright.

It is like living in a work of art.

Beautifully renovated home in waterfront private association.
Only 2nd time on the market; 30 years since it has been on the market.


Internationally renowned architect Edgar Tafel
designed this waterfront home
for maximum views of Long Island Sound and privacy. 
 
Overlooking 20 acres of open space,
this oversized .69 acre lot on the sound
has 207 feet of direct waterfront and panoramic views. 
The grand view from the living room welcomes your first step inside
Edgar Tafel, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright,  
travels the world speaking and educating architects on organic design.
Edgar designed  this house  organically to blend into nature,
creating an experience that envelopes you with calm and beauty.

Built into a cliff and for the most part, hidden from the road,
this home's three levels opens seamlessly to
multiple stone patios  and a deck,
yet retains nearly total privacy.
Tastefully restored in 2007 and renovated to 21st century luxury standards
without sacrificing authenticity. 
Impeccable updates to the kitchen and baths
(including top-end hardware, granite tops, vessel sinks)
make this a luxurious and splendid home.
High vaulted ceiling, magnificent stone fireplace, hard wood floors.

Professionally landscaped, beautiful stone walls,
oversized lot (.69 acre) with incredible privacy - very very quiet.
20 acres tidal marsh open space provides fantastic nature views
- not views of neighbors. 
 
Private neighborhood Association amenities include
White Sand Beach, Deep Water Marina with boat slips,
Tennis courts, huge Playground & more.

Competitively priced at $1,399,900
