Home of the Week: 100 Robin Rd.

Unique contemporary home available in Weston with strong influences from celebrated architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

This sophisticated contemporary home was influenced by the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his signature features can be discovered throughout its spacious 3,000+ interior square footage. This 48 year-old masterpiece offers an open floor plan on a convenient single level with layers of architectural interest, glass, fluid spaces, elevated ceilings, organic materials and in any way possible, constructive elements and enhancements to bring nature inside.

No area in this eight-room home has been conventionally designed. All room dimensions are airy and generous and the common spaces continually boast hints of the legendary designer with oversized windows and doors, skylights, natural wood and brick and partial walls and dividers where you would never expect. The main rooms include a warm, inviting 27 x 19 square foot fireplaced living room, an 18 x 16 square foot formal dining area with a built-in wet bar and a 22 x 18 square foot gourmet kitchen. The 24 x 17 square foot deluxe master suite includes a full, private bath and the three remaining bedrooms are also liberally sized at 13 x 11, 19 x 19 and 15 x 13 square feet. All bedroom quarters offer French doors to a balcony or contain oversized windows. There is also a great space in the lower level walk-out with a large room and bathroom that would make an ideal teenager or au-pair suite.

With such heavy naturist inspirations, it is no surprise to find beautiful outdoor opportunities in this home. There is a delightful and inviting screen-in porch and a terrace that spans the entire width of the house and both areas provide breathtaking views of the private, lush nearly two acre landscape.

While there are a few homes in the area influenced by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright, they rarely come on to the open real estate market, and when they do, these unique properties are quickly sold to very fortunate buyers. New England does offer a fair share of contemporary homes within its highly traditional collection of properties, but none come close to the distinctive designs of this respected architect.
