An ever changing, ever captivating, ever inspiring view - of distant hills, stunning sunsets, clear skies or a symphony of clouds, fog-shrouded mountains or a glorious moon - fills every room. Whether you're at the kitchen island, dining, relaxing in the sunroom or living room, in bed or in the bath, an exquisite and unmatched sky and landscape embrace you. Masterfully reimagined, redesigned and fully renovated, this mid-century modern home, once the retreat of famed artists, is aesthetically, structurally and functionally remarkable. The land, too, has been beautifully transformed, in appreciation of the unique beauty of the location and elevated 18-acre setting, overlooking Lover's Leap where Bridgewater and New Milford meet. Distinctive from its stonework and covered patio entry, it only gets better. Fully open kitchen, dining area, sunroom and adjoining living room feature a surround of windows, separated by an impressive stone fireplace. The upscale kitchen features black walnut cabinets, huge island, granite and walk-in pantry. The kitchen and sunroom open upon lawn, gardens and rear patio. The upper level features a private primary bedroom with sitting area and sleek modern bath with heated floors. Wide windows overlooking the grounds highlight 2 additional bedrooms. The lower level bedroom/office with adjacent bath is ideal work and guest space. Here, too, the view is mesmerizing. Everything was made new in 2020, from siding and roof, walls and windows, heating and air, plumbing and electric, walkway and patios. A singular and wonderful opportunity. .88 of the total acres is located in New Milford. 17.72 acres in Bridgewater. There are possible sites for pool, outbuilding or guest quarters. This mid-century historic artist's home with scenic views was reportedly home to Western artist John Clymer, film director Mike Nichols, and famous wildlife artist Albert Earl Gilbert.
