Home of the Week: 438 Glen Road

Resting on over two acres of land, views of this unique contemporary home cannot be enjoyed unless you were a resident of guest. If you are lucky enough to have access, however, you will not forget the voyage. This mid-century modern gem perfectly introduces its individuality with its distinctive exterior architecture, and backs up that promise inside with a spectacular floor plan filled with organic materials and expansive walls of glass to parade its natural landscape.

With 3,681 square feet of living space, each of the seven rooms in this home were granted generous proportions. The 32 x 15 square foot living room is a fabulous open space for entertaining with a cathedral ceiling and signature fireplace set in a wall of dramatic rock drawing the eye upward to further expand its dimensions. The 32 x 16 square foot family room offers a more relaxed setting, primarily from its brilliant wall of natural stone and exposed ceiling beams. Similarly, mealtimes can be enjoyed in two opposing areas with the 11 x 15 square foot formal living room that also boasts a cathedral ceiling and built-in buffet and the 20 x 12 square foot custom chef's kitchen for daily gatherings.

The second level hosts luxurious accommodations for its owners with a 29 x 16 square foot sun-drenched master suite that includes a cathedral ceiling, walk-in closet, new hardwood floors and a deluxe bath with dual vanities. It also contains two 12 x 12 square foot bedrooms and a full family bath. The finished basement provides private lodging for guests or teenagers with a fourth 16 x 13 square foot bedroom and a full bath.

This "mini estate" contains the luxury and grandeur of a majestic manor, but on a more manageable financial and intimate level. For those homebuyers looking for something bigger, it does offer viable expansion within its two acre grounds for extensive additions or more immediate possibilities above the three-car heated garage. It just entered the Weston real estate market only ten short days ago, and with its unique construction, design and size, interested parties are encouraged to tour this special residential jewel before it is too late.
