Description

Modernist retreat in a pastoral Berkshire setting; an artful sanctuary where design, landscape, and light exist in quiet harmony. Designed by acclaimed architect Debra K. Reiser, this light-filled two-bedroom, three-bath home blends refined urban modernism with the stillness of the countryside. Set along a quiet dirt road beside Moon In The Pond Farm, (an eco-conscious farm) a landscape of grazing sheep and open fields exists outside your window. The home feels private yet deeply connected to nature....Modernist retreat in a pastoral Berkshire setting; an artful sanctuary where design, landscape, and light exist in quiet harmony. Designed by acclaimed architect Debra K. Reiser, this light-filled two-bedroom, three-bath home blends refined urban modernism with the stillness of the countryside. Set along a quiet dirt road beside Moon In The Pond Farm, (an eco-conscious farm) a landscape of grazing sheep and open fields exists outside your window. The home feels private yet deeply connected to nature. Completely reimagined and meticulously renovated, it offers low-maintenance luxury within an intimate, thoughtfully designed footprint. Clean architectural lines, natural textures, and carefully placed windows frame the surrounding landscape like living artwork.
