ALSO AVAILABLE FOR SUMMER RENTAL MAY 22 THROUGH LABOR DAY $38,000 TOTAL Welcome to "Silver Lining"! This mid-century modern home was built in 1963 by Bauhaus graduate and renowned photographer Andreas Feininger. The meticulously built and maintained home with majestic views of the Housatonic River is graciously furnished and boasts the best of original mid-century modern flare blended with luxurious contemporary comforts and amenities. There are two wings off of the main living area: The first has three bedrooms- one still configured as the office containing historical books and photographs from the original owner- and a full bath, and the second wing has one bedroom, full bath, and access to the expansive two-car garage. In the basement you will find Feininger's unchanged photography darkroom (except for the addition of the washer/dryer), and there is a bonus room for guests or a wonderfully private office. Set on 6.5 acres of unparalleled beauty, this picturesque Connecticut gem includes an immaculately maintained in-ground swimming pool and an oversized hot tub incorporated into the generously sized screened porch with water views. In the 90's Feininger sold the home to Merle and Pearl Debuskey. Both worked on Broadway; Merle was a press agent and Pear a costume designer. Merle was instrumental in introducing Shakespeare in the Park to NYC and was devoted to making it free to the public. The house was a perfect escape for both prior owners and occupied during the summer months where Feininger would work on his photography projects- some which are featured in the house. The Debuskeys installed the swimming pool which completed the space as a perfect summer venue. Provenance, an easy 90-minute drive, local shopping minutes away, 20 minutes to train station, swimming pool, hot tub, an outstanding view, and ultimate privacy.... ....Enjoy this rare jewel as they did: New Yorkers looking to escape the hustle and bustle and city heat. Tenant covers all utilities **Except for summer-only rental**
