    What's special

    Welcome to Sylvan Hill, Washington's most spectacular modern. The WOW factor is yours with this internationally acclaimed design by Lester Korzilius that was featured in architectural digests in London, Milan, Rome and Tokyo. Complete privacy and quiet is yours once you pass through the stone pillars that lead you along the winding drive to this impressive house nestled in the woods. This 5875 sq.ft. structure consists of three circular windowed pavilions (Owners have recently replaced all of the windows) with an additional wing which was added in 2004. There are 5 bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half baths, several options for a home office, a spacious family/media room, eat-in kitchen and several options for gathering spaces. There is a wine cellar, a greenhouse, a 3-car insulated and heated garage (electric), 3 fireplaces, a pizza oven and an outdoor fireplace/grill. The property boasts 2000 sq.ft. of deck space and a jacuzzi. There is also a dramatic, circular hallway, a perfect place to display art. There is room for a pool on this 13 acre property located on one of Washington's most desirable roads close to the Green, Washington Depot, New Preston and Lake Waramaug. If you want boring, this house is not for you. This is your chance to own a very special and unique property that truly is itself, a work of art. Architect Lester Korzilius served as a project architect under John Lautner(famous in CA for mid-century modern designs.) John Lautner studied under Frank Lloyd Wright. It was the architect's intention to "create a close relationship between the dwelling place & nature in which the former is immersed in the latter" and an "easy transition from public to private spaces." The new addition is a rectangle added on behind the 3 pavilions and serves as an additional family room/media room. The house is surrounded by woods and no other structure can be seen from the house. Southeast views from each pavilion are unobstructed. There is a wine cellar and a greenhouse as well as a circular outer hallway to display art. The house sits on 13 wooded acres and has a dramatic, winding, scenic drive leading to the home. There is a conservation easement on 5 acres of the front of the property. There is room for a pool or tennis court on the property.
